We started in a garage in Elk Grove, California, with a bandsaw and a drawer of bent brackets. Every bracket in the drawer solved one project and no others. Kumigrid is the drawer, solved once.

The name joins kumi — the Japanese joinery tradition where parts interlock into wholes — with the grid the system lives on. One pipe size, one bolt size, nine joints.

Connectors are injection-molded in glass-filled polypropylene, and load-tested in-house on a rig we will happily show you.

クミグリッドは、木材の規格寸法に合わせた九種類の接合金具のシステムです。「組」は、部品が組み合わさって全体になるという日本の木組みの伝統から取りました。スケッチから部品表へ、部品表から構造物へ。
