Koshido Armoire by Garde Hvalsøe

The latest addition to the Koshido series, the Koshido Armoire by Garde Hvalsøe is a freestanding showcase, crafted in solid cherry wood, features the distinctive Koshido front, developed in close collaboration with OEO Studio. Defined by refined detailing, natural materials, and a distinct architectural presence, Koshido Armoire brings together function and sculptural elegance. Its light construction of vertical wooden slats creates a subtle rhythm of light and shadow – a serene composition inspired by Japanese principles of balance, simplicity and spatial harmony, interpreted through a Nordic lens. Handcrafted in Denmark, Koshido Armoire reflects the brand’s commitment to uncompromising craftsmanship, where every joint and surface is shaped with precision and deep respect for the material. This new piece further explores the design dialogue with OEO Studio, which previously resulted in two bespoke kitchen designs. Now, the collaboration continues in a new typology – where furniture and architecture converge. As its name suggests, Koshido Armoire is a freestanding, sculptural storage piece, perfect for bathrooms. With transparent panels and rhythmic wooden slats, it invites quiet contemplation – a refined intersection of architecture, craft and curation.
