For the exhibition Shared Matter at Milan Design Week 2026, KNS produced stools and side tables specially designed by Gini Moynier. The stool is conceived as both a functional object and a symbolic tool that encourages moments of exchange and dialogue. Designed as a place for gathering, it invites people to meet, share ideas, and engage in conversation. The project also reflects KNS’s technical expertise, particularly in transforming small-diameter trees into high-quality wooden components. This piece was developed as a special project created specifically for Shared Matter. 2026年ミラノデザインウィークで開催される展覧会「Shared Matter」に向けて、KNS は Gini Moynier によって特別にデザインされたスツールとサイドテーブルを制作しました。 このスツールは、機能的な家具であると同時に、交流や対話を生み出す象徴的なツールとして構想されています。 人が集まり、考えを共有するための場を生み出すデザインです。 また、このプロジェクトには、小径木を加工する技術など、KNSの素材と製造に関する知見が活かされています。 なお本作は、「Shared Matter」のために制作された特別プロジェクトとして発表されています。 EXHIBITION OVERVIEW Dates: April 20 (Mon) – April 24 (Fri), 2026 Opening Hours: 10:00–19:00 Press Day: April 20 (Mon), 10:00–18:00 Venue: Spazio Vento, Via Pinamonte da Vimercate 4, 20121 Milan Organized by: Pro Helvetia, Presence Switzerland @prohelvetia @prohelvetia_design Hosted at SPAZIOVENTO @spaziovento with @akutostudio , @iiode , @noelanirutz , @pantertourron , @silvio.rebholz , @ve_ro_studio + @fili__fili__ Jury @maddalena_casadei and @maxfraserdesign Art direction and scenography: @ginimoynier in collaboration with graphic designer @nicolasbernklau Organized by Pro Helvetia in partnership with Presence Switzerland Official Suppliers @bleocollective @charbon_cafe Network Partners: @swissdesignassociation_sda , Federal Office of Culture, @istitutosvizzero PR: @mayconcepts , @gc_agency

What does it mean to share matter? The key image made by @ginimoynier @nicolasbernklau , captures the essence of 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳: a gathering of people, textures and materials brought into one shared space. Like an archive assembled through the design process, each element is collected and held together without losing its individuality. Rather than merging, the pieces coexist - distinct yet connected - forming a collective statement through their shared presence. The exhibtion will present works from @akutostudio , @iiode , @noelanirutz , @pantertourron , @silvio.rebholz , @ve_ro_studio + @fili__fili__ On view Monday, 20 April 2026 – Friday, 24 April 2026, 10am – 7pm @spaziovento , Via Pinamonte da Vimercate, 4, Milan Organized by @prohelvetia_design in partnership with Presence Switzerland Official Partner @karimokunewstandard Official Suppliers @bleocollective @charbon_cafe Network Partner: @swissdesignassociation_sda , Federal Office of Culture, @istitutosvizzero PR: @mayconcepts , @gc_agency Copywriting @ccamillekkaiser #SharedMatter #MilanoDesignWeek #ProHelvetia #SwissDesign

BEAM Beam is an indirect floor light conceived as a hybrid between a portable object and a sedentary luminaire, where the light source is oriented towards a reflective surface, producing a soft wall wash. Brightness and spread are adjusted physically by moving the source closer to or further from the surface. Made from ash, Beam offers glare-free, atmospheric illumination for domestic and architectural interiors. Photography @cynthia.ammann

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to present our wooden lamp BEAM in Tokyo as part of Home-Home, an exhibition curated by @akasaki_vanhuyse Bringing together 16 designers and visual artists from around the world, the show reflects connections built over time through shared experiences of travelling to and from Japan. It took place at Bundle Gallery, set within a modernist house designed in 1974 by Ren Suzuki. Within this unique setting, BEAM was introduced for the first time, exploring the relationship between light, material, and space. The exhibition creates a dialogue between contemporary works, ranging from objects to furniture and the architecture itself, opening up new perspectives on ways of living and creating.

We recently concluded a 3 weeks residency in Japan at Tajimi Custom Tiles where we kicked-off the development of a collection of ceramic tiles and accessories. Looking forward to sharing it in 2026. Thank you for this opportunity @tajimicustomtiles @prohelvetia_design @swissembassyinjapan @marie.mayoly @yamaguchi_irene @davidglaettli Photography 2 by @yamaguchi_irene

In October, we have reached an important milestone with Design with Japan. This programme aims to connect Swiss designer and Japanese manufacturers on tangible projects. The two first edition took place in the beautiful region of Tajimi, in the Gifu prefecture, in collaboration with our local partners from @tajimicustomtiles . @noelanirutz with Tajimi Custom Tiles, Marusen, Sugiura Seita and @anthonyguex with @miyama.mizunami worked for a year together to make prototypes of their project. The results were presented earlier this month at the CIRCLE by @place_by_method in Tokyo. Press coverage and attendance showed the interest of the Japanese design industry. This all nurish the purpose of the program: to build long term relationships and collaboration. Studio @carolienniebling and @ginimoynier are the designers of the second edition. Today is their last day of the immersion phase of the programme. They spent three weeks on site, in Tajimi to explore and collaborate with Tajimi Custom Tiles, Marusen, Ohata and Yamatsu to develop their project. Coming back to Switzerland they will further develop their designs and the prototyping phase will start early 2026. Building a programme like this takes time, commitment and trust, from all parties. We would like to thank Kasai san, Ken san, @nonohanaaa_____ , @porquerico , @naotakegata from @tajimicustomtiles , Miyama, Marusen, Ohata and Yamatsu, @davidglaettli - Mentor and sparing partner, @yamaguchi_irene - Design Project Manager and gentle-power force of the programme, the jury members Laetitia de Allegri, Matsuzawa-san, Genia Mineeva, Noriko Kawakami, @swissembassyinjapan - @jon_lam_son who enthusiastically agreed on the idea of this programme, Yuko-san, Sarah Bokman, Mizuki-san for the nice collaboration. And of course, the designers @noelanirutz , @anthonyguex , @amandinegini and @carolienniebling for their commitment, openness and warm energy. Thank you. Creating lasting spaces for multicultural, multidisciplinary collaboration and dialogue, where diverse backgrounds and goals converge, is perhaps the most meaningful path forward. In the end, we all Share this Ground. Credit: @yamaguchi_irene @kentahasegawa
