Our founder, Minoru Nagahara, comes from Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. In the early 1960s Asahikawa City sent him to West Germany to study furniture making and design. It was there that he discovered the understated look, clean lines, and elegant simplicity of mid-century modern design. Nagahara returned to Asahikawa in 1965 and started designing his own furniture. He did something exceptional for tha
t time in Japan and began partnering with designers, mostly Europeans, forming a unique relationship that continues to this day. As a result, Conde House furnishings combine an Asian-inspired Zen-like simplicity with European-inspired clean lines and organic curves to deliver furniture that’s artistic, beautiful and timeless. Conde House utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing practices which deliver quality and durability, while carefully selected and sustainable woods ensure beauty and elegance. Once a year, our entire factory team plants new trees to give back to the earth what we have taken. Our passion for elegance, functionality and quality is at the core of everything we do.
