Ku Ambiance furniture designs are a modern interpretation of the spirit of residential architecture called sukiya-zukuri. The sukiya style came from the tea ceremony, in fact the word sukiya refers to the building in which the tea ceremony is performed. The sukiya style which evolved from the Azuchi-Momoyama period, was in direct contrast to the grand and baroque settings of earlier times. In the sukiya, the smaller and simpler is considered the best design. Sukiya style combined a smaller, plain setting with the features of a more delicate, natural and unornamented style, noted for refined elegance revealed through simple beauty. This style became the leading style for sophisticated urban residences in the mid to late Edo period (1750 – 1867). It is this style that most represents the traditional Japanese "zen" interior. If you are not sure how to incorporate the New Japan Style in your home, you are welcome to consult with our interior design services.
