About Object 飛沫防止パーティション
Objectは、リビングやダイニングの空間向けにデザインされた飛沫防止パーティションである。円形のアクリルパネルに、シンプルに曲げた真鍮製の支柱と、転倒を防ぐ丸い真鍮製のウェイトを組み合わせている。アクリルはスモークタイプとカラータイプが用意されており、間仕切りが一時的な設置物のように見えることなく、室内に彩りを添える。複数のセットを真鍮のウェイト部分で連結すれば、より幅の広いスクリーンとして構成できる。オプションの木製ベースには花を生けることもできる。全体の構成はアートピースのような佇まいで、Objectは装飾としてそのまま空間に置き続けることができる。

- Production Technology
- 6mm brass is bent, and 500mm t5mm round acrylic is inserted. To prevent it from tipping over, 110mm t20mm round brass is used as a weight.
Another set can be connected around the brass weight for fixing.
There are two types of acrylic: smoked and colored.
A wooden flower base can be attached as an option. - Design Challenge
- We did a lot of research on how to fix the circular acrylic. This was a difficult task because the method of fixing had to be beautiful and not exaggerated.
We also did a lot of research on how to connect them so that they would be functional and beautiful when connected. - Research
- We conducted an Internet search and visited stores and restaurants to find out what kind of anti-corona splash-proof partitions are available. As a result of our research, we found that there are many temporary splash-proof partitions that pursue only function, based on the awareness that "Covid‑19 may end someday. Therefore, our goal was to design a partition like an art piece that would create a space even after the end of Covid‑19 Our goal was not to make the space lonely by the Corona partition, but to make the space gorgeous by the splash-proof partition.
- Inspiration
- Due to the influence of Covid19, there are many partitions in living space. Most of these partitions are temporary and cheaply designed. Therefore, we decided to develop a product that focuses on both aesthetics and function, like an art piece, in order to turn the negative image of partitions for Corona into a product that adds color to our lives. In addition, our goal was to create a product that would add color to the space like an art piece, rather than becoming unnecessary after the corona was finished.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2020 in Japan and finished in June 2021 in Tokyo, and was exhibited in New Norma New Standard in October 2020, New Norma New Standard 2 in June 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The brass is bent to support the circular acrylic. It is a simple composition of circular brass weights.
A wooden flower base can be attached as an option. Another set of brass weights can also be connected and fixed around the brass weights. - Image Credits
