La cabane a reves, to have time to:

  • Dream the impossible

  • Contemplate the sky

  • Catch your wisest and craziest dreams

  • Fall sleep stargazing

  • Pretend to be elsewhere

  • Being joyful in a shelter

  • Feel the earth and nature

Kinya Maruyama is a Japanese artist/architect, co-founder of Team Zoo, a versatile group of designers who have searched for mixing the japanese tradition with the contemporary creation.

For over 70 years, he has not stopped being amazed and delight us. His work is an amazing mix of fantasy and tradition where interior and exterior merge.

With him, nature is closely mixed with architecture using natural materials such as bamboo, reeds, branches or dead leaves.

The earth through infinite experiences and treatments, is considered a core material in his work that he unites with air, the wind and above all the aesthetics.

Kinya permanently looks for the harmony of the form applied to the set of elements framing the life of a person, the time to breath and appreciate nature taking an approach as ecological as poetical.

Tireless , Kinya circulates around the world as its emblematic animal kiwi, to transfer and share from workshop to workshop his practices with a sensory-based approach to places and atmospheres of the collective and permanent workshop.
