Karimoku Case presents a collection of furniture designed specifically for architectural projects created to harmonize with its space. For its latest project, CASE 11 “Logy Taipei,” architect and product designer Keiji Ashizawa has transformed Logy, a fine dining restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan. As part of the project, he designed the new A-DC05 | Dining Chair. Additionally, Karimoku Furniture has crafted nearly all of the restaurant’s furnishings in a custom walnut wood finish.

Logy is a fine-dining restaurant specializing in modern Asian cuisine, nestled in the business district of Neihu, Taipei, home to many high- tech companies. Led by Chef Ryogo Tahara, the restaurant pursues innovation in cuisine, using the finest ingredients from Taiwan, Japan, and across Asia. To enhance the immersive culinary experience, Keiji Ashizawa has meticulously designed the space, ensuring a tranquil and elegant atmosphere secluded from the surrounding city’s noise.

This project embodies three core values of Karimoku Case: serene beauty, material richness and timeless appeal, which can be fully experienced in this new space.

The colour palette of the restaurant is rooted in warm, earthy tones — rich clay-hued fabrics, rustic brick, and deep walnut wood. The interior subtly incorporates Taiwanese and Japanese materials, such as locally sourced bricks and bamboo-inspired lighting, reflecting Chef Tahara’s culinary philosophy of blending regional ingredients.

The furniture has been custom- designed to match the space, with walnut wood pieces from the Karimoku Case collection. The dining area adopts a round-table seating arrangement, reflecting Taiwanese dining culture. A bespoke, custom-sized version of Keiji Ashizawa’s A-DT03 | Dining Table has been crafted for the space. To further enhance comfort, the new A-DC05 | Dining Chair features a high backrest, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their meals comfortably.

The A-DC05 | Dining Chair will be available for purchase starting 8 April 2025, as part of the Logy Taipei Collection.A-DC05 was designed for laid-back comfort while dining in the restaurant. Upholstered with soft cushion textiles, both the back and seat provide great seating comfort and a moment of relaxation. While the large seat back generates a distinctive presence and private touch in any dining area, the beautifully-curved thin lines of solid wood never leave a heavy impression, creating a light atmosphere.
