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.
Team KIMU
Based in Helsinki and Taipei, good friends Kelly, Ketty and Alex are the three creative strength behind KIMU. Being constantly inspired by such different cultures, the chemistry between the east and the west naturally becomes the spark that lights up their collaborated works. Perhaps it was the childhood dream of being archaeologists that also led them to focus their design on bringing more classic and traditional objects into modern day life, and they do so by always finding their own beautiful and poetic solutions.
