About Lens Series 家具コレクション
レンズシリーズは、凸レンズから着想を得た家具コレクションです。コレクションには、スクリーン、フロアランプ、テーブルランプ、花瓶、アームチェア、コーヒーテーブル、サイドテーブル、ベンチ、チェアが含まれます。補色関係にある2色のアクリルが光と影を分け合います。フロスト仕上げと透明仕上げを組み合わせることで、差し込む光によって色合いが移ろいます。金属部分は指紋が付きにくいステンレススチール製で、手作業で研磨されています。金属部分は面取りした接合部によって嵌め込まれており、接着剤の使用を最小限に抑えながら、各ピースの安定性を保っています。

- Production Technology
- The metal parts of the Lens Series are made of 304 metal forged fingerprint-resistant metal, and the curved surface of the metal parts need to be polished by hand, in order to fulfill the aesthetic aspect of the curvature and to keep the structure steady in use. PMMA materials are subject to the gradient color PMMA spraying process. Metal parts are inlaid to the glass profile with joints beveled, which not only avoid an excess use of adhesives and enhances eco-friendly property, but also keep the combination furniture firm and steady.
- Design Challenge
- How to make a trade-off in respect of art aesthetics and structural stability of the furniture is considered the biggest challenge in the design process. In the early phase of design, we chose to use tinted metal and colored PMMA glass. However, we came to realize that structural stability and comfort are crucial for furniture products, and the special material nature also challenges how we present the best art furniture.
