ZENLAB ROOM
A new place in a familiar room.
A room within your room. More ways to make it yours.
Zenlab Room brings a distinct place into the room you already have—for reading, making tea or spending time together. Made to order in timber, tatami and paper, it gives everyday moments a setting of their own, without closing them off from the life around you.
Structure worth looking at.
Interlocking timber, square tatami and paper surfaces give the whole space its character.
Gifu materials. Gifu hands.
Nagara sugi, Mino washi and tatami made in Gifu, Japan—brought together with local makers.
Crafted parts. Guided assembly.
Assemble it where you’ll enjoy it; take it with you when you move home.

A space defined, not closed off.
The base model shown, Standard Open, uses fixed shoji and fusuma panels rather than sliding doors, keeping the structure simple and visually light.
Open sides, easy connection Step in from the surrounding room; its views and company stay with you.
Joinery, fully visible Interlocking Nagara sugi gives the frame both its structure and its distinctive rhythm.
Four squares, one tatami floor Four borderless mats form a continuous floor for sitting and gathering, their woven surfaces catching the light in subtle shades.
Shoji, alive with daylight Light-filtering paper catches the changing light from morning to evening.
Half open, half shoji Overhead, an opening and a shoji panel bring direct and filtered light into the space.
Dark fusuma, quiet contrast A deep-toned paper surface anchors the composition against pale timber and tatami.
Actual product details may differ from the images shown.
Gifu materials. Made for Zenlab Room.
Zenlab brought Gifu makers together to adapt timber, paper and tatami for this open interior. Each contributes to the experience: the grain of the frame, the light through the shoji, the floor beneath you.
Nagara sugi. Grain in full view.
Nagara sugi, cedar from Gifu’s Nagara River basin, forms the exposed frame. Its grain and interlocking connections give the structure a rhythm you can see from inside and out.
Kawaryu
A timber-building practice rooted in Japanese architectural craft, shaping the frame for Zenlab Room.
Mino washi. Light and contrast.
Light passes through the shoji; the dark fusuma provides a contrasting surface. Shogetsudo brings paper craft to these fixed panels, giving each its distinct character.
Koji Kurita
At the workshop founded in 1920, Kurita practises hyōgu: mounting and finishing work for scrolls, screens and interiors.
Gifu-made tatami. A place to settle.
Tatami invites you to sit close to the materials, whether preparing tea or spending time together.
Suzaku-ken
Drawing on tea practice, Suzaku-ken helps shape how the materials and activities belong together.

Questions before you order
What comes with Zenlab Room?
Your quotation lists the supplied components, instructions and accessories, and identifies any furniture or objects shown that are not included.
Can I ask for a different configuration?
Yes—tell us about the space and the changes you have in mind. Panel positions, additional panels and other requests are reviewed individually. We confirm what is possible, along with price and timing, before you decide.
Can the panels be moved after assembly?
The panels stay fixed during use. Changing their position later requires disassembly and refitting, with the method and feasibility checked beforehand.
Can it be delivered internationally?
Tell us your delivery country. We’ll confirm whether we can supply Zenlab Room there and explain the delivery arrangements, including which transport, import and local requirements you need to arrange. Your quotation separates included charges from costs payable elsewhere.
Does it provide soundproofing or full privacy?
Zenlab Room is open to its surroundings. It is not a soundproof room or a fully enclosed private space.
Can it move with me?
Zenlab Room can be disassembled and rebuilt for an occasional move. It is not intended for frequent rearrangement or repeated short-term setups. Before reassembly, check the components, new space, access route and assembly conditions.
