Truck Furniture

Truck Furniture  is a furniture design company started by design duo (and husband-wife) Norihiko Kinose and Hiromi Karatsu. The 2 founded their design studio in 1997 and have slowly been growing their business with some very simple and stylish furniture. The overall style is very consistent with the Japanese aesthetic with an emphasis on organic, yet refined, shapes and lines.

I think that the coffee table and the leather armchair are two of the most beautiful things which I have seen in a long time. I suppose you don’t ship to spain? Or otherwise sell in spain or maybe London?
