AXIS , Stainless steel, W 400 x D 1000 x H 1750
Axis is a stand hanger which its frame itself has a function of a hanger.
Some people will have an experience not hanging up clothes since a stand hanger doesn’t have an aid hanger (a small hanger).
In such an experience, I found a design point of Axis.
A simple change of its structure makes Axis have two hidden hangers with a formative feature.
1
‘1’ is a mobile phone adding only one function which is ‘call’ to LCD DISPLAY.
To mobile phone, a lot of functions besides the original function of ‘call’ have been added.
As a result, the price of mobile phone also moved upwards as much as more functions.
Will all the people need the many functions?
A lot of people beyond expectation use only a function of ‘call’ or only some functions of mobile phone.
Especially, a lot of functions with sensitive touch sensor of slim touch screen phone are meaningless for the blind
SOOP SERIES
The Soop series naturally utilizes wood grains and knots of the walnut tree to provide a sense in the deep forest.
In order to maximize the beauty of the wood grains and knots, it was designed in a simple form using a straight line.
GORGE , W 1000(1500) x D 600(1000) x H 350(400)
'Gorge' is a coffee table with a shape of a gorge.
Designing it, I strived to put it in a form so that elements composing of a table
such as a top board and legs may become one element, not individual elements.
The shape of a gorge folded in a V shape itself plays a structural role of supporting
the top board of the table, and plays a role of holding/ keeping magazines or books
as well as completing an aesthetic form of the table.
GLIDER , W 1800 x D 450 x H 1800
This is a bookstand composed of boards in a form similar to wings of a glider.
A lot of books have differences in height and width.
Therefore, a lot of people have ever seen books inserted unevenly into a bookstand.
The convex form similar to wings of a glider settles such a problem to some extent.
It also gives rhythmical beauty to a simple space.
PISA , W 2080(880) x D 770 x H 710
This is a sofa designed by getting inspiration from ‘The Leaning Tower of Pisa’.
Stability through balance is one out of elements considered when furniture is designed.
However, it can be an element limiting design.
I wanted to design a stable and convenient sofa in reality although it looked unstable.
This form leaned forward as ‘The Leaning Tower of Pisa’ is a characteristics in this sofa’s form and helps this sofa play a role as a point furniture giving tension to simple space.
GENTLEMAN, W 250 x D 250 x H 550
Gentleman is a table lamp in the form of a tuxedo shirt and a bow tie.
The bow tie can be applied to other bow ties, have different colors and shapes,
for changing an atmosphere of the lamp.
YO BED , W 1554 x D 2240 x H 272 ( For Queen size Mattress )
Yo Bed is a bed designed symmetrically without head.
To maximize the feel of the material it was thick and widely used to minimize decorative elements and designed to low height to give a massive feel.
Designed to disassemble/assemble without screws with only minimal hardware attached to the four corners of the bed frame,
THE UNIVERSE
* The Universe = Time
* Move around the sun ( Revolve )
The inner-workings of The Universe are based in the solar system
(Planets moving around the sun). The center of the watch(the sun)
remains still, while jewels rotate around it to display hours and minutes.
Thinness , W 400 x D 400 x H 500
V SERIES
V Series is the module storage that a result of manufacture, module operation, use efficiency, functional form.
The purpose of this project is to create a functional form with a simple production process.
The V series utilizes Chamfer Milling to provides functionality and decorative features.
Gap , W 1200 x D 600 x H 350
48 , W 570 x D 570 x H 380
In these days, people usually send their clothes to the cleaner's.
When people get the clothes back from the cleaners, the 'Hangers' are coming with them.
Because people don’t want to keep more hangers than they need, they dump them out after all.
We think that the hangers are too good to use.
So we suggest how to reuse the hangers in '48'.
'48' is the lighting which is made of 48 hangers and a unit that combines them together.
