About Tiramisu プーフ
ティラミスコレクションは、機能性とスタイルを融合させています。デザートからインスピレーションを得たこのコレクションは、「私を引き上げて」と直訳され、イタリア語で「私を元気づけて」を意味する「ティラミス」と名付けられました。この二重の意味がデザインの着想源となり、空間にポジティブな雰囲気をもたらすとともに、掴みやすく移動しやすいシルエットによって使い勝手を高めています。ティラミスコレクションは様々なサイズで展開され、布張りまたは木製の天板オプションを備え、コーヒーテーブルとプーフの両方の機能を果たします。

- Design Challenge
- Crafting a shape that not only invites touch but also instinctively prompts individuals to lift, the design merges functionality with an effortlessly minimal silhouette. This creative approach seeks to engage users on a tactile level, enhancing the interactive and aesthetic elements of the form. By seamlessly blending the practicality of graspable contours with a commitment to maintaining simplicity, the result is a synthesis of form and function that sparks a unique and intuitive connection with its users.
- Research
- As living spaces continue to shrink in size, the importance of compact furniture becomes more noticeable. Research explores the growing trend of smaller living spaces in urban settings, driven by factors like population density and sustainability. Multi functional and easily movable pieces offer practical solutions in diverse living scenarios. Based on the researches tiramisu has been created to fulfill various aspects such as design, functionality, and psychological well-being within constrained spaces.
- Inspiration
- One of the most practical objects at home and at work is a smart compact seating object and a side table that you can easily move around the sofa. The idea is to create an object that is easy to hold and move. It has layers like a Tiramisu dessert and it can become a pouf or coffee table.
- Project Duration

- Operation Flow
