Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Kisaragi

By K5 Furniture

An innovation called Compressed straight-grainer cedar.

Kisaragi is the worlds first dining chair to make use of straight-grained cedar wood. HIDA’s attempt to leverage the appeal of the dignified straight grain that is characteristic of cedar lead to research for compressed wood that was not “cross-grain wood,” where knots and the like appear in the wood, but “straight-grain wood,” which requires more precise and uniform compression technology. Success in this research birthed “Kisaragi,” where the beautiful straight grain and straight lines are out in their best light. The name “Kisaragi,” means “for plants to turn over a new leaf,” symbolising domestic cedar wood being given a new lease on life.
