This book traces the collaboration between Time & Style and Kengo Kuma, a dialogue shaped through architecture, material, and space. It gathers the furniture developed together for Kengo Kuma’s projects—pieces conceived not as isolated objects, but as quiet extensions of the environments they inhabit. Within transparent architecture, where structure is light and boundaries are softened, the furniture seeks the same restraint: forms that do not interrupt space, but allow it to continue.
Each work presented here reflects a shared sensitivity toward wood, proportion, and atmosphere. Developed for specific architectural contexts, these pieces respond to light, air, and human presence. They are neither decorative additions nor autonomous statements; rather, they emerge from the needs of place. Through this collaboration, craftsmanship and architectural thought meet, shaping objects that support the larger spatial intention.
The book also features a conversation between Kengo Kuma and Ryutaro Yoshida. In this dialogue, they reflect on the role of furniture within architecture, on transparency and materiality, and on the quiet responsibility of design. Their exchange offers insight into a partnership grounded not in spectacle, but in a mutual search for forms that remain attentive to time, space, and daily life.
