What's On at CIBI
CIBI Design Month
23 May - 23 June 2024
at CIBI Home
We are excited to share up coming CIBI Design Month, “Everyday Living Japan 1950’s & Today”, an exhibition showcasing furniture design and manufacturing from 50s to 60s, Japan. Curated in partnership with our friends Tendo Mokko from Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
This exhibition is a part of
NGV Melbourne Design Week (23 May - 2 June)
Focusing on a period of creative burst, designers and the manufacturer Tendo Mokko, formed a relationship of equal collaboration in the development of moulded plywood furniture. Aspiring to and fulfilling an outcome of what Isamu Kenmochi recognises as ‘good design already includes good quality, so it is unified’. The furniture was designed with heart and craftsmanship to serve practical purposes, to carry joy in everyday life and importantly be passed on from generation to generation, as a purposeful act of sustainability that continues to this day. An act that captures our CIBI heart, to value and share this partnership of design and craftsmanship as a pathway in a world of finite resources, with a joyful smile.

Yuzu, a super fragrant citrus that plays a significant part in Japanese cuisine and culture. Yuzu juice is often used like lemon juice but with a hint of grapefruit and mandarin aroma. The zest and peel is where the fruit shines and is what makes it so versatile. For this Marché we share everything about yuzu. From the various foods featuring the fruit, the many uses and celebrate locally fresh grown yuzu from Mountain Yuzu in Victoria.
Yuzu Syrup Set
To celebrate yuzu season, we made a limited amount of Yuzu Syrup Kits available for pre-order.
