About Hotaru Cathaoir Léitheoireachta
Is cathaoir léitheoireachta í Hotaru a bhfuil soilsiú ionsuite inti. Feidhmíonn seasamh an tsolais mar dhroim-taca freisin, agus titeann an solas ar lámha an duine atá ina shuí. Lasann agus múchtar an lampa sa dorchadas mar fhreagra ar dhaoine atá in aice láimhe. Is féidir suíomh an tsoilsithe a choigeartú siar agus aniar. Tá Hotaru cóimeáilte as ceithre chuid – suíochán, cosa, seasamh agus aonad soilsithe – gan feistí miotail. Fágtar snáithchlár sraithithe an tsuíocháin le feiceáil chun teas an adhmaid a léiriú. Nuair a chuirtear in aice le leaba í, feidhmíonn Hotaru mar bhord taobh agus mar lampa freisin. Oireann an dearadh do thithe a bhfuil spás teoranta acu.

- Chair, lighting, furniture, reading, prefabricated
- Production Technology
- By showing the laminated plywood on the seat, we left the warmth of the wood. It can be assembled without using metal fittings
- Design Challenge
- I had a hard time deciding the angle of my legs. Since the overall balance changes depending on the angle, I adjusted it little by little with the mockup.
- Research
- Japanese houses have small floor plans and little space for furniture, so I researched furniture to put in a small space. Since chairs take up space in furniture, it was a new proposal by giving the backrest multiple functions of lighting.
- Inspiration
- Due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, the amount of time spent at home has increased. I designed a chair with integrated lighting for reading books in order to enrich my time alone. This work was inspired by performers who were spotlighted on stage. Because it was similar to reading a book with a light in a dark room. It turns on and off in the dark in response to people. The blinking appearance looks like a firefly that emits a fantastic and gentle light. I named it Hotaru in Japanese.
- Project Duration
- The Lamp stool was designed in Okinawa in 2022.
- Operation Flow
- This chair is used by assembling four parts: seat, feet, stand, and lighting. The position of the lighting can be adjusted back and forth.
