GINO’s classic fabric, created with the goal of "furniture that can be used for decades"
GINO was born seeking supreme comfort, a used-like texture even when new, and a presence that blends naturally into spaces. While maintaining the basic European style, it is designed to fit seamlessly into Japanese living spaces.
An eternal standard
The durable canvas fabric, used for sailing ship covers and tents, is made from a special fabric with a high thread density. To reproduce the warm and gentle feel of vintage fabric, no effort was spared in the manufacturing process, with repeated prototyping at domestic factories. It is soft and relaxing, yet the surface has a resilience that prevents excessive sinking, providing a comfortable seating experience that reduces fatigue.
To provide water repellency, a paraffin treatment (wax coating) was applied, followed by a bio-wash using special enzymes to give a unique texture. This process puts little stress on the fibers, and natural wrinkles and unevenness that look worn-in last semi-permanently. The softness increases over time, reflecting the user’s habits and frequency of use.
The colors are khaki and beige. Khaki gradually shifts from a deep green to brown. Beige is a calm color close to khaki but slowly changes to a lighter beige. Both colors develop rich expressions from the fabric’s shading. Because it can be used for many years, you can deepen your attachment while enjoying the fabric’s texture and rich tones that change with age.
Since it has a full covering design, you can change the look with separately sold covers in different colors and fabrics. Separate covers are available here
The ultimate comfort and sense of openness
The secret to the soft, enveloping comfort when seated lies inside the back and seat cushions. The back cushion combines high-quality soft feathers and memory foam. The mix of resilient fibers that easily trap air and the restoring power of feathers allows for both firm support and durability.
The seat cushion is covered with four layers of urethane foam wrapped in feathers and memory foam. The softness of the feathers and the core urethane support the body, providing stable comfort that doesn’t sink in, reducing fatigue even after long sitting, and minimizing internal deformation.
The wooden frame supporting the most important cushions uses a straight spring structure that excels in resilience and durability, resisting distortions caused by standing and sitting movements. The springs are supported by the surrounding wooden frame, making it sturdy. Using woodworking techniques such as reinforcement, notching, and securing, every detail is carefully handcrafted domestically with consistent quality control throughout the entire process.
Sofas are always the central presence in spaces like homes and offices. Because they are furniture with which you spend important times, whether relaxing alone or enjoying lively conversations with many people, we sought the highest quality in materials, structure, design, and comfort.
Spacious yet modest
The arm parts are finished as thin as possible to secure ample relaxing space. The 2.5P offers plenty of room for two adults to sit comfortably. The 3P lineup allows even men to lie down comfortably. You can choose according to various lifestyles.
Each sofa can also be combined with an ottoman. Arrange the ottoman with the 2.5-seater in an L-shape to lie down. In the living room, use the 3-seater and 1-seater for family gatherings, making irreplaceable moments even more special.
Cushions designed to match Gino make your relaxation time even more luxurious. They are large and moderately firm, useful for adjusting arm height and seat depth. Suitable for adults and children regardless of body size, allowing you to comfortably enjoy long movie sessions or reading in the same posture.
Solid oak legs come in two types: "turned legs" and "square legs." The refined silhouette of the turned legs suits vintage-style spaces. The orthodox square legs fit simple modern rooms. They can match various interior styles.
Canvas fabric also offers an optional traditional European-style skirt.
About changing to knockdown type
This is an option to change to removable arms (only for 2.5P and 3P). If the sofa size is too large to bring in through the delivery route, removing the arms from the main body changes the shape and makes it easier to bring in. After placing it in the room, the appearance and comfort are the same as a regular sofa. Video of disassembly procedure is here.
[Notes] * Only available for GINO fabric type 2.5P and 3P. * This is an option to be selected at the time of order (+¥22,000). Changes cannot be made after ordering. * Delivery will be in a disassembled state. * Even if changed to knockdown type, there may be cases where it cannot be brought in. Please be sure to read "About bringing in large furniture", check the delivery route and size before ordering.
