In Japanese, Nagi describes the moment when the wind falls still and the surface of the water becomes calm. This sense of stillness gives the Nagi collection both its name and character. Although designed to bring music into a space, Nagi remains quiet in its presence, resting naturally within the room as a piece of furniture.
The collection, created by Keiji Ashizawa Design, brings together high-quality sound and considered storage in two distinct forms: a cabinet with doors and an open console. Integrated Dynaudio speaker units sit at either end, creating a simple, balanced composition. The cabinet conceals its contents for a calm and orderly appearance, while the console allows records and audio equipment to become part of the room.
Nagi creates a natural harmony between sound, furniture, and space.
A subtle grid, softly rounded panel legs, and carefully balanced proportions give Nagi a light architectural quality. Solid wood and leather bring warmth and tactility, while flexible storage options adapt to different ways of listening and living with music. Designed for quiet moments alone or shared gatherings, Nagi creates a natural harmony between sound, furniture, and space.
