CondeHouse Contemporary Japanese Wood Furniture

CondeHouse creates contemporary Japanese furniture that brings natural materials, thoughtful function and quiet beauty into everyday life. Established in Hokkaido in 1968, the company produces finely crafted chairs, tables, sofas, lounge seating and storage for residential, hospitality and commercial interiors.

Every piece reflects the Japanese values of respect for nature, consideration for others and precise workmanship. Through clean forms, carefully resolved details and the warmth of solid wood, CondeHouse furniture creates spaces that feel comfortable, balanced and enduring.

Japanese Furniture Made in Hokkaido

CondeHouse is based in Asahikawa on Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island and one of the country’s most important furniture-making regions. Surrounded by abundant forests, the company has developed a deep knowledge of local timber and an appreciation for the responsibility involved in transforming trees into lasting objects.

Furniture is manufactured at the CondeHouse factory in Asahikawa, where traditional techniques are supported by advanced production technology. Computer-controlled equipment provides accuracy during cutting and shaping, allowing skilled craftspeople to devote more time to joinery, sanding, assembly, upholstery and finishing.

This combination of precision and handwork enables CondeHouse to produce furniture with complex curves, exceptionally smooth surfaces and refined structural details.

Hokkaido Oak, Ash and Natural Materials

Wood is central to the character of CondeHouse furniture. The company uses locally grown Japanese oak and ash wherever possible, taking advantage of their strength, grain and tactile warmth.

Careful planning allows each tree to be used efficiently. Larger sections become structural components and tabletops, while smaller pieces can be directed toward details or complementary objects. This respect for the entire material is an essential part of the brand’s approach to craftsmanship.

Natural leather, textiles and cushioning are selected to complement the wooden structure and support long-term comfort. Non-toxic glues and finishes are used during production, allowing the material’s natural character to remain central to the finished piece.

Monozukuri: The Art of Making Things Well

CondeHouse’s work is informed by monozukuri, the Japanese concept of making things with skill, care and an ongoing commitment to improvement.

This philosophy is evident in details that may initially appear simple. A chair arm flows smoothly into its backrest. A table edge is shaped to feel comfortable beneath the hand. Joints are engineered for strength while remaining visually restrained.

Every element is considered in relation to the user. Proportions support the body, surfaces invite touch and functions are incorporated without unnecessary complexity. The resulting furniture does not demand attention but reveals its quality gradually through daily use.

Dining Chairs and Tables for Everyday Gathering

CondeHouse is particularly known for its dining furniture. Chairs combine lightweight proportions with structural strength and ergonomic support, making them comfortable for extended meals, meetings and conversation.

Collections such as Kamuy, Kotan, Wing, Leggero, Eight and Nupri demonstrate different interpretations of the wooden chair. Some emphasize flowing curves, while others reveal a more architectural relationship between the seat, back and legs.

Dining and conference tables are available in a variety of forms, sizes and finishes. The One table by Jin Kuramoto uses a strong central base to support a round Hokkaido oak top, while other collections explore trestle structures, tapered legs and expansive surfaces designed for shared use.

Lounge Seating, Sofas and Storage

The CondeHouse collection extends beyond dining furniture to include lounge chairs, recliners, sofas, occasional tables, cabinets and other furnishings for complete interiors.

Quodo and Sestina by Motomi Kawakami combine detailed wooden structures with generous upholstery, bringing visual warmth and comfort to living rooms, hotel lounges and reception areas. Nupri by Toshiyuki Kita expresses the strength and delicacy of Hokkaido oak through flowing solid-wood elements.

Cabinets and storage pieces continue the brand’s emphasis on precise construction and restrained detailing. Doors, drawers and hardware are integrated into calm architectural forms that complement both Japanese and international interiors.

Designed in Japan and Around the World

CondeHouse works with designers from Japan, Europe and the United States, translating diverse creative perspectives through the knowledge of its Asahikawa factory.

Collaborators include Naoto Fukasawa, nendo founder Oki Sato, Toshiyuki Kita, Jin Kuramoto, Motomi Kawakami, Raw-Edges, Peter Maly, Antti Kotilainen and David Trubridge.

Regardless of a designer’s country of origin, each product is developed through CondeHouse’s understanding of material efficiency, minimal form and Japanese craftsmanship. The close relationship between designer and factory allows ideas to be tested, refined and adapted until the construction feels natural and complete.

Furniture for Residential and Contract Interiors

CondeHouse furniture is designed for dining rooms, living spaces, offices, conference rooms, restaurants, hotels and public interiors. Its restrained visual language allows it to coordinate with many architectural styles while retaining a clear identity.

Dining chairs and tables provide durable solutions for restaurants and hospitality spaces. Lounge seating creates comfortable areas for waiting, meeting and conversation. Conference furniture brings material warmth to professional interiors that might otherwise feel overly technical.

The company also supports bespoke projects, drawing upon its manufacturing expertise to develop furniture for specialized public and commercial environments.

Sustainability Rooted in the Forest

CondeHouse views sustainability as an essential part of furniture production. Using locally grown Hokkaido wood reduces the need to import major timber species while strengthening the relationship between manufacturing and the surrounding environment.

The company has participated in tree planting in Hokkaido since 2000, helping establish resources for future generations. It also works to use as much of every harvested tree as possible and creates furniture intended to remain in service for decades.

Durable construction, replaceable upholstery options on selected pieces and timeless design reduce the need for frequent replacement. This long-term perspective connects forest stewardship, manufacturing quality and responsible ownership.
