Kigumi Table: A Limited-Edition Masterpiece by Kengo Kuma for Eins Zu Eins

An Exclusive Collaboration in Design

In the world of luxury living, few creations truly capture the essence of craftsmanship and architectural finesse like the new Kigumi Table by Eins Zu Eins. Crafted in collaboration with the acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, this piece embodies both innovation and tradition, which elevates bespoke furniture to the realm of fine art. With only ten pieces worldwide, the Kigumi Table presents collectors and connoisseurs with an unparalleled chance to own a visionary work of design.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition

Meticulously crafted from solid white oak, the Kigumi Table honours Japan’s revered kigumi (木組み) joinery—a traditional technique celebrated for precision, harmony, and also elegance. The lattice structure, with 20mm x 20mm slats, highlights Kuma’s mastery, emphasising restraint and sophistication. The tabletop, made of transparent acrylic glass, creates a stunning illusion—a “wood cloud” that appears to float, playing with light and space to evoke weightless beauty. Every detail reflects a deep respect for manual skills and cultural heritage.

Architectural Elements of Subtle Grandeur

Kuma designed the table’s connectors and legs, which are crafted from solid bronze explicitly for this project. These bespoke elements carry both structural importance and aesthetic refinement, so they seamlessly integrate form and function. Additionally, the warm tone of bronze contrasts beautifully with the light oak lattice, which results in a balanced composition that highlights Kuma’s architectural sensibility—where subtle details contribute to overall harmony and elegance.

Collector’s Treasure

Kengo Kuma personally engraves each Kigumi Table with its edition number and signs it. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a signed photographic print, this piece is a true collectible—an enduring symbol of craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic vision. Its limited edition status makes it a highly coveted item for discerning collectors seeking unique, investment-grade furniture.

The Philosophy of Balance and Poise

More than just furniture, the Kigumi Table signifies a poetic dialogue between tradition and innovation. It embodies the core principles shared by Kuma and Eins Zu Eins: celebrating material integrity, architectural storytelling, and aesthetic restraint. In addition, every element exudes a timeless sense of balance and elegance, therefore making it a centerpiece that transcends trends and evokes a sense of refined serenity.
