Tags: nature, chair, cloud, okinawa, japan, organic
Production Technology: Materials: Stainless steel, Polyester fiber, Wood, Polyurethane foam
Production processes of the product: Handmade
Design Challenge: In addition, the number, length, and diameter of stainless steel round bars that express rain were carefully determined.
Research: I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world.
Inspiration: The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
Operation Flow: I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable.
