Familia UMAMI is a furniture family inspired by the Japanese culture and its love for simplicity. Just as the umami taste was distinguished from the salty taste, in the case of a family of dressers, the designer has exposed the internal body of the furniture, thereby breaking the generally accepted concept of furniture design. Such exposure refers in its form to the characteristic Japanese built-in walls and their divisions. The internal structural elements have become the decoration of the external form.
