The K-chair, introduced by Garimoku Furniture in 1962, is a 'long life design' product that is simple, durable, and faithful to its essence. It is an iconic chair that established the quality standards and philosophy of Karimoku Furniture, which is produced with technology, care, and sincerity, and became widely known in 2002 when designer Kenmei Nagaoka rebranded it as the K-chair of 'Karimoku 60'. With its detachable and assembleable structure, easy repair, and its timeless charm, the K-chair invites you to rediscover the beauty and value of ordinary objects in everyday life. In this issue, the magazine "C" examines the lifestyles of users who use K-chairs in five cities: Tokyo, Singapore, Taichung, Seoul, and Kyoto, and visits the headquarters and factories of Karimoku Furniture to cover the history and production process of K-chairs in an intense manner. In addition, a special interview with Kenmei Nagaoka, who serves as the creative director of Karimoku 60, and interviews with world-class designers such as Genya Hara and Big Game define the power of the "Monozukuri Spirit" and "Long Life Design" that run through K-chairs.
