Concept
The design of Castor Sofa respectfully references Le Corbusier’s Grand Confort sofa and combines elaborate functionality with the highest level of comfort. Drawing on Karimoku’s exceptional knowledge of woodworking and upholstery, the sofa features an elaborate Japanese oak structure and soft supporting cushions upholstered with high-quality foams and natural feathers. Each element has been carefully crafted down to the last detail, adding to the sofa’s appeal from all angles and making it a perfect room divider. The compact ottoman completes the 1-seater, 2-seater and 3-seater sofas, providing additional comfort as either a footrest or supplementary seating.
Castor Sofa comes in three standard frame colors and is available with a choice of fabric or leather upholstery. The leather version comes in a soft, high quality cowhide in three colors that match the tone of the wooden frame.

BIG-GAME
Switzerland
The Belgian Elric Petit, the Swiss Grégoire Jeanmonod and the French Augustin Scott de Martinville met at Ecal, where they studied industrial design. Taking advantage of their diverse backgrounds, they create the Big-game design studio in June 2004, today based in Lausanne and Brussels. According to their motto “From confrontation comes progress”, they mix universes through their collections. “Heritage in Progress”, their first collection, questions the blending of heritage and contemporary lifestyle. With “New Rich”, they make democratic objects exclusive by using gold. With “Pack, Sweet Pack”, they use packaging to create furniture. Lately, “Plus is More”, plays with the Swiss modernist heritage. Appart from their studio work, the members of Big-game also teach design at Ecal (Lausanne) and La Cambre (Brussels). While their approach is often experimental, their industrial realism makes the products sustainable for the market. Big-game’s objects are produced by companies such as Ligne Roset, Mitralux, Vlaemsch and Domestic, and awarded prizes such as the “Bourses Fédérales” or the first prize of the “Die Besten” contest in 2005. Taking part in numerous exhibitions, the studio also works with galleries such as KREO in Paris to create more exclusive pieces. More recently, they were brought to work in the field of scenography for companies such as Team by Wellis or commissioned work for Veuve Clicquot.
