KANJI (籠) CRIB

The Kanji Crib is one of my most meaningful projects, designed and built for my daughter’s arrival and rooted in a family tradition. When my sisters and I were born, my grandfather handmade a crib for each of us. Inspired by this legacy, I created a modern interpretation that feels both personal and timeless.

Influenced by Japandi aesthetics, the crib features clean lines, softened details, and an emphasis on natural materials. It is flat-packable and designed to adapt as a child grows, shifting from a semi co-sleeping setup to a crib with adjustable base heights, and later converting into a toddler bed. Constructed from architectural-grade plywood and finished with natural organic beeswax, the crib prioritizes safety, longevity, and a calm, tactile environment.
