POUL KJÆRHOLM 共鳴する日本の美意識
北欧モダニズムを象徴する家具デザイナー、ポール・ケアホルムの作品が、いかに日本の美意識と響き合うかを探る一冊。構造、素材、空間に向けられたまなざしを手がかりに、KIGENZENが独自の視点でその関係性を読み解きました。
まえがきには、ケアホルムの息子 トーマス氏と娘クリスティーヌ氏の寄稿を収録。家族としての記憶を通して、日本の文化やデザインに対するケアホルム一家の親和性が静かに語られています。
矢吹健巳が手がけた本書のための撮り下ろし写真とともに、これまで公開されてこなかったケアホルム・ファミリーのアーカイブ写真も収録。編集はBACHの幅允孝、ブックデザインは須山悠里が担当し、思想と美意識を丁寧に編み上げた一冊として仕上がりました。

The book that explores how the work of Poul Kjærholm, a designer emblematic of Nordic modernism, resonates with Japanese aesthetics. Through a close reading of structure, materials, and spatial sensibility, KIGENZEN offers a unique perspective on the subtle dialogue between his designs and Japanese culture.
The foreword features contributions by Kjærholm’s son, Thomas Kjærholm, and daughter, Christine Kjærholm, who reflect on their family’s enduring affinity with Japanese design and cultural values.
The book includes newly commissioned photography by Takeshi Yabuki, alongside never-before-published archival images of the Kjærholm family. Edited by Yoshitaka Haba (BACH) and designed by Yuri Suyama, the volume is a carefully crafted meditation on design philosophy and aesthetic harmony.

House of Oda, into the Future
日本の椅子研究の第一人者・織田憲嗣さんが、23年間にわたり暮らしてきた北海道・東川町の自邸を、KIGENZENが正式に継承することになりました。
織田さんが世界各地から集めた北欧の名作家具、アフリカやアジアの民藝、骨董、そして日々の道具たちが静かに調和するこの空間には、単な るコレクションを超えた「暮らしの思想」が息づいています。
KIGENZENはこの住まいを、家具・暮らし・土地・そして思想が折り重なる「リビング・ミュージアム」としてひらいていけるよう、少しずつ構想を重ねています。
2025年秋より、織田邸を未来へ渡していくための本格的な活動を、段階的に始めていく予定です。

House of Oda, into the Future
KIGENZEN will formally take over the house of Noritsugu Oda in Hokkaido—Japan’s foremost chair researcher who has lived there for 23 years—as part of its mission to preserve and carry forward his philosophy and way of life.
This space—where iconic Nordic furniture, folk crafts from Africa and Asia, antiques, and everyday tools quietly coexist—is more than a collection. It embodies a philosophy of life shaped through living with design.
We envision this house as a “living museum”—a place where design, life, land, and philosophy quietly converge, and whose resonance may one day be shared with others.
Starting in autumn 2025, we plan to gradually begin full-scale activities to shape how this place might speak to the future.
