KIMU is a design brand that integrates Eastern profound philosophies, Western simple shapes and the longing for traditional lifestyle. We value natural materials, craftsmanship and the chemistries between users and objects.
With an enthusiasm for the ideal living, KIMU collection that embraces both poetic and practical aesthetics is created.
Design in Helsinki & Taipei since 2013
Tradition revitalisation
It is the contrasting peaceful and dynamic qualities of The New Old Light that sets KIMU onto its journey of discovering new souls in old living objects. The traditional form and function of an oriental paper lantern meets with western design aesthetics and transforms itself into a beautiful new shape for modern lifestyle.
The New Old Light Collection
We hope that the classics can be preserved while responding to modernity. With the “Paper Milk Light,” it takes the milk light to an unimaginable scale, replacing glass with paper, and giving birth to a huge, soft halo of light like a cloud. Let us continue to illuminate every glowing room with the Paper Milk Light.

The New Old Divider
In the process of turning “fan” into “divider,” the New Old Divider wanders around minimal and decorative aesthetics, offering the space with new possibilities just at owners’ fingertips.
Artist Cheng Tsung Feng
In the eyes of Cheng Tsung Feng, who has known KIMU for a decade, KIMU's works have always carried an impression of Eastern aesthetics, reminding him of his past studies on the traditional forms of both Eastern and Western cultures.
vilnius, Lithuania｜OIŠY Izakaya
Unlike the usual impression of KIMU’s The New Old Light as minimalist and reserved, OIŠY Izakaya takes a casual approach by scattering variously sized The New Old Light throughout the space, creating a sense of carefree and unbounded ambiance that beautifully contrasts with the overall atmosphere. It unexpectedly presents The New Old Light in a completely different look, and it's a case that we personally adore!
