Where attachment begins. Moifani is a furniture brand launched in 2021 by SHIKI, an Okawa–based manufacturer in Japan. Design by SATEREO, the Portugal–based studio of Japanese designer Keita Sato. Its distinctive forms emerge as flowing curves that draw out the tactile warmth of solid wood and invite a lasting relationship between people and furniture. In Moifani’s work, form is never arbitrary; it grows from the quiet dialogue between people, material, and everyday life. The Pombo collection, a series of dining chairs and tables, marks the brand’s latest release.
