KABU
Käbu, curve in Japanese. With this name, I underline the conceptual process behind the design of this collection. The light structure is dressed up in a technical fabric that becomes skin and wrapping. The tightness of the fabric upon the structure generates a curve emphasising the desire for a lightweight upholstered framework.
