Eröffnung des NIKIN TreeHouse Aarau mit vielen Besucher*innen im Store.

A tree that holds everything together  

When you enter the TreeHouse , your gaze is immediately drawn to a highlight: a real tree, almost ten meters long, stretching across four floors. It's not just a piece of furniture, but a symbol of our roots and our vision. The tree symbolizes how nature, people, and architecture can be connected. We wanted to create something that inspires—and this tree does just that, every day. If you look closely, you'll even discover a hidden light in the root area that emits a warm, almost magical glow in the evening.
