Shibusa minimalist furniture

Simplicity, implicity, modesty, naturalness, everydayness, imperfection, and silence. In these traits, one discovers the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of shibusa. Connection, sharing, collaboration – these activities have never been more important at work and in life. We come together in places created to encourage and support engagement and contribution. In conference rooms、around tables,in groups large and not so large, we converse, display, enlighten and learn. Suspended in the balance between simplicity and complexity,restraint and spontaneity, SHIBUSA by Okamura represents understated elegance and quiet confidence.
