Even if the posture becomes stable and I ease a burden to a lower back and sit down long, it's difficult to get tired.

Research: arent-child communication tool.
I studied Japanese traditional crafts.
The material which is strong and lasts long was studied. I was particular about the thing which are the thing made in Japan and the interior where the room is changed according to the change and the feeling, the case that the shape changes and the seating comfort.
Inspiration: Based on the origami picture-changing box, Tsumugu's "Changing Picture Floor Cushion" was inspired by Kurume Tsumugi, a traditional Japanese patterned cloth.
Pull it out from the middle to change between the three di erent patterns.
With the warm texture and traditional Japanese patterns, this is perfect for almost any modern usage.
