The Japanese term “枯白” (koku) translates to “withered white” in English. This term can be interpreted as referring to something that has aged or faded to a pale, whitish colour, typically with connotations of elegance or dignified aging. The concept might suggest beauty or a refined aesthetic that comes with age, commonly appreciated in the context of traditional Japanese culture.

Based in a nature-rich area of Western Japan, KOKU is an artisanal furniture studio, drawing inspiration from the textures and forms found in nature with a profound respect. The objects crafted from wood and metal, reinterpreted anew, celebrate their expression as the material changes with time.

With past exhibitions in Osaka, Tokyo, Taiwan and China, KOKU's founders Takaaki & Naomi Inui are presenting their first European exhibition at OF A SPACE, Reykjavik.

OPEN UNTIL MID-JANUARY 2025
