About Katachi
Crafting Spaces
That Tell Stories
Where Japanese precision meets Scandinavian warmth
Our Story
Giving Shape to
Imagination
Katachi was born from a simple belief: that furniture should be more than objects—they should be vessels of intention, shaped by the stories we want to tell in our spaces.
Founded in 2008, we've spent over 15 years refining our craft at the intersection of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality. Each piece we create is a dialogue between form and purpose, beauty and utility.
We don't mass-produce. We don't follow trends. Instead, we listen—to the grain of the wood, to the light in your space, to the rhythm of how you live. Then we shape those whispers into something timeless.
Our workshop in the Pacific Northwest combines traditional joinery techniques with modern design sensibilities. Every cut, every joint, every finish is deliberate—a testament to the philosophy that slow design creates lasting value.
What Guides Us
Our Principles
Every decision we make is rooted in these core beliefs about design, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
Timeless Over Trendy
We design for decades, not seasons. Every piece is crafted to grow more beautiful with age and use.
Sustainable Sourcing
We work exclusively with FSC-certified woods and natural, non-toxic finishes. Our materials honor the earth.
Heirloom Quality
Each piece is built to be passed down. We use traditional joinery that grows stronger over time.
