This project is the
renovation of one room in the apartment that is older than thirty years old at
Kasai, Tokyo. We aim to plan that
can wrap around a feeling of life miscellaneous.The multi-layered
furniture is comprised of two elements: the shelf of diagonal grid in the back
and the shelf of different widths in the front. Such as books and DVD are
displayed on shelf of the diagonal grid in the back.
Then, those create
diverse backgrounds. Such as Home appliances and daily necessities are placed
on the shelf in the front. The multilayer is formed the thing that is placed on
the back and front. And, the aspect of everyday life overflowing casually be
replaced by the colorful landscape like a Japanese superimposed pattern (means
Kasane-moyou in Japanese).
A corridor connecting
the North and South in the dwelling unit has become dark and dismal space
in the daytime. By using a high finish on the walls of the corridor,
the landscape appears on the corridor as if there is a window. The landscape
that has been appeared in the corridor is reflected in the opposite faces.
Then, those images are amplified like a opposite mirrors. The narrow corridor is
transformed into the space that is filled with a lot of landscape.
We will plan to
produce the furniture of this project on a commercial basis, please contact us if
there is a person who is interest in a plan to commercialize.
