Description

The Castor Plus grows up—to bar and counter height—in this taller version of the stool from the signature Castor series by Swiss Studio Big-Game for Japanese maker Karimoku New Standard. Like its shorter counterparts, also made from Japanese Oak, a small diameter of wood is the starting point, a joint detail that is a nod to the traces left by beavers on wood. A reinforced joint between the legs and the cross supporting the seat makes the light and stool a sturdy and durable companion. Big-Game is only among the latest to join KNS. Some 70 years into producing quality furniture with a Midcentury sensibility, Japanese brand Karimoku decided in 2009 to write a new chapter in design by engaging in collaboration with a young crop of international talent and rechristening itself as Karimoku New Standard. Solid Japanese hardwoods such as maple, chestnut and oak are the basis of a line informed by a cultural understanding of craftsmanship coupled with innovative technologies in terms of manufacturing and sustainability. To preserve and revitalize Japanese forests, the hardwood used is from low-diameter trees, long underused. Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, Big-Game is a product, furniture and interior design studio helmed by native Gr é goire Jeanmonod and French expat Augustin Scott de Martinville and Belgium expat Elric Petit. Besides KNS, they have designed for Praxis, Alessi, Materia and Globe Trotter.
