About Hourglass 多機能シェルフ

アワーグラスは、コートラック、収納棚、ランプを一つの家具に融合させた多機能シェルフです。フレームは3つのカラーステンレススチール製エレメントで構成され、大きさの異なる2枚のボードが棚板として機能します。ボードと金属フレームはアングル金具のネジで接合されています。フレーム上部のネジはコートフックとして使えます。ランプは取り外して他の場所へ持ち運ぶことができ、低温光源のため熱くなりません。アワーグラスの寸法は幅500mm、奥行500mm、高さ1700mmです。

So we have investigated more than two hundred people and studied their living habits.

Based on these, we combine the opinions provided by the participants and hope to combine people's needs and develop a product to simplify people's doing tedious and boring things, as well as interactive and fun products.

The change of different roles reminds people to follow the direction of time, perceive the years and harvest exquisite life.
