丹麦Norm Architects工作室与日本Karimoku家具制造商合作，为东京的一个翻新项目设计了四件木制家具。

这些设计参考了日本与斯堪的纳维亚（Scandinavian）的传统美学，它们包括一张木框架沙发、一张日式咖啡桌、一张利用回收材料制成的餐椅，和一张薄如纸的餐桌。

这些设计作品是东京西部Kinuta一系列近期翻新的联排别墅的室内家具。

Danish studio Norm Architects has teamed up with Japanese furniture manufacturer Karimoku to create four pieces of wooden furniture for a renovation project in Tokyo.
Designed to reference both Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics and traditions, the designs include a wood-framed sofa, a coffee table modelled on a Japanese temple, a dining chair made using recycled materials and a "paper-thin" dining table.
They were designed to furnish a series of recently renovated townhouses in Kinuta, west Tokyo.

Norm Architects工作室的Frederik Werner说：“创作的过程充满了激情，一个项目若想成功，需要各方的大量投入，我们与Karimoku家具公司的合作便说明了这一点。”

他补充说：“日本和丹麦在家具和橱柜设计方面有着共同的传统特征，在与Karimoku家具公司的合作过程中，我们获益良多。”

"Passion has been the keyword in this process," said Frederik Werner of Norm Architects. "For a project to succeed, you need people to invest themselves in it – and the Karimoku collaboration is an excellent example of that."
"Japan and Denmark share traditions in their approach to furniture design and cabinetry, and the Karimoku collaboration was an opportunity to investigate that, and learn and benefit from each other," he added.

这张沙发由日本常用的柏香木（Hinoki）制成，从外形上就可以看到所有的接头和连接部位，这参考了日本传统建筑和世纪中叶的丹麦家具。

扶手环绕沙发周围，其靠背可用作架子。

The sofa is made from hinoki – a type of cypress wood commonly used in Japan. With all of its joints and connections displayed, it is intended to reference both traditional Japanese architecture and mid-century Danish furniture.
The sofa's armrest extends around the sofa, where it morphs into a backrest that can be used as a shelf.

咖啡桌有着石制表面，下部由木制框架支撑，而光线可以从框架之间的缝隙穿过。

这一框架的形式参考了日本的寺庙和神社。而沉重的石制桌面则参考了丹麦设计师Poul Kjærholm的极简主义作品。

The coffee table features a stone surface, raised up over a wooden frame in a way that allows light to travel through.
Japanese temples and shrines informed the shape of this frame, while the weighty stone top references the minimalist work of Danish designer Poul Kjærholm.

设计师的餐桌有着不同的尺寸。

设计团队称：“我们在轻和重之间寻求平衡，从某些角度看它很薄，而换一个角度来看，它又非常结实。”

To create the dining table, the architects played with different dimensions.
"We've experimented with the balance between lightness and heaviness, making it paper-thin when seen from some angles and more robust from others," said the team.

配套的餐椅使用了Karimoku厂房内的现有木质零件。

建筑师说：“日本和斯堪的纳维亚（Scandinavian）的美学混合体现在餐椅上。这是一件经典的小家具，看起来很温馨。”

The accompanying dining chair was made using existing timber parts found in the 13,000-square-metre Karimoku factory.
"A hybrid between the Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics emerged when working on the dining chair," said the architects. "The result is a classic, minimal piece of furniture with a warm look."

Karimoku家具公司在1940年成立于爱知县，目前是日本最大的木制家具制造商。同时也是 Karimoku New Standard现代家具品牌的母公司。

Norm Architects工作室是Karimoku家具公司在该项目中三个合作伙伴之一，另外的合作方是Keiji Ashizawa设计公司和Torafu建筑事务所。

Founded in 1940 in Chita-gun, Aichi Prefecture, Karimoku is the largest wooden furniture manufacturer in Japan. It is also the parent company of contemporary furniture brand Karimoku New Standard.
Norm Architects was one of three studios that teamed up with Karimoku to create furniture for this project, called Architect Meets Karimoku, along with Keiji Ashizawa Design and Torafu Architects.

这三家工作室受邀在一系列翻新的联排别墅中进行空间设计，一些新装修的空间将在2019年4月开放，其中一些将用作住宅，另一些用作办公室。

Karimoku家具公司之前还与德国设计师Christian Haas合作设计了一系列节省空间的家具，还有法国Big Game工作室设计了一系列的橡木作品。

All three studios were invited to furnish apartments in a series of renovated townhouses. Set to open in April 2019, some of the newly furnished spaces will function as homes, while others will be used as offices.
In the past Karimoku has also worked with German designer Christian Haas on a collection of space-saving furniture and French studio Big Game on a series of oak pieces.
