About Mass Series Sumi Limited Huonekalumallisto
Mass Series Sumi Limited on huonekalumallisto, joka sisältää ruokailutuolin, lepotuolin, sohvapöydän, kaksi jakkaraa ja naulakon. Jokaisessa kalusteessa yhdistyvät teräsrunko ja vanhoista puista saatu, runsaasti höylätty setri. Setri on hiillostettu perinteisellä menetelmällä, joka parantaa kestävyyttä ja korostaa puun syykuviota luoden kiiltävän mustan pinnan, jolla on harvinainen tekstuuri. Tumma viimeistely viittaa Noyakiin, Ason alueen ruohomaiden kulotukseen, jossa ihminen ja luonto elävät yhdessä. Sarja on rajoitettu 25 kappaleeseen vuodessa.

- Charred inky black represents the culture
Cedar is charred to gain glossiness and organic feature with defined grains. Charred colour reminds us of noyaki. It represents Aso history and beauty of harmonic lifestyle with nature.

It is a traditional method to charred cedar to make durable furniture. The process involves skills and experience to bring out cedar defined grains just right. This is what produces the unique texture and rare finish to the furniture. - Research
- Brand is based in Minami-Oguni, Kumamoto prefecture. Minami-Oguni is a town located to the north of Aso caldera which has an active volcano to this day. Aso caldera is internationally famous and about 50,000 people call it home. Rather than just making products, Brand came about with an ambition to protect and preserve the landscape and natural resources that communities cherished and harness it for future generations.
- Inspiration
- Sumi limited is designed to express the unique Aso experience, where people and nature coexist and press on together in a majestic yet harsh volcanic environment, along with the seeds of life sprouting from the inky black world of Noyaki.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 in Kumamoto and finished in July 2020 in Tokyo Japan, and was exhibited in Designart Tokyo in 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Sumi limited is designed to express the unique Aso experience, where people and nature co-exist and press on together in a majestic yet harsh volcanic environment, along with the seeds of life sprouting from the inky black world of Noyaki. This series is limited to 25 units sold annually. The number is based on the 25 Oguni cedar saplings which were granted in the Edo period to grow forests.
