About Rin Werjefteplank
Boektekst: Rin is in werjefteplank makke fan Sendan-hout út de Okinawa-prefektuer. It ûntwerp fan de pylders is ynspirearre troch it lânskip fan Japanske bamboebosken. Elke pylder wurdt foarme troch fjouwer izeren stavenges fan ferskillende lingtes oan in stielen plaat te lassen. De pylders binne mei skroeven oan it hout befêstige, wat der ek foar soarget dat it massive hout net wringt. It hout is net bewurke litten, sadat de lingte en tsjokte ferskille en de natuerlike foarm fan elke plank sichtber bliuwt. Tusken de pylders kinne boeken en lytse foarwerpen delset wurde. It oantal pylders kin fergrutte wurde om oan te passen oan de romte.

- Unique Properties
- Since the wood is not processed, the length and thickness vary, allowing you to enjoy a variety of solid wood shapes and expressions. You can put books or small items between the pillars. Each pillar has a different shape, so it's fun to assemble while choosing. By increasing the number of pillars to match the space, you can create a shelf with a different look.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 2000mm, depth 500mm, height 1030mm

- Production Technology
- This shelf is made from ''Sendan'' wood from Okinawa Prefecture. The pillars are made by randomly welding four iron rods of different lengths to a steel plate. This shelf was created by a designer.
- Design Challenge
- It is about maintaining strength and stability against back and forth swaying. Strength can be increased by increasing the angle of the iron rod, increasing the number of columns, or placing it next to a wall. By fixing the iron plate to the wood with screws, it stabilizes the shelf while preventing the solid wood from warping.
- Research
- Fascinated by the natural texture of solid wood, we came up with a design that did not require any processing on the wood. It has a simple structure, consisting of a pillar made of four iron rods welded to a steel plate, which is fixed to wood with screws. By supporting the heavy solid wood with thin pillars, we have created a structure that gives the impression of lightness.
- Inspiration
- This is a shelf made from ''Sendan'' wood from Okinawa. The pillars were inspired by the landscape of Japanese bamboo forests. This will raise the awareness of consumers and manufacturers about saving wood resources, and will make proposals for environmentally friendly manufacturing.
- Project Duration
- The project started in December 2021 and ended in February 2024.
- Operation Flow
- To assemble, fix the pillars in the desired position with screws. You can increase or decrease the number of shelf posts. The purpose is to place pottery and sculptures and enjoy the interior.
