About Hotaru 독서 의자

호타루(Hotaru)는 조명이 일체화된 독서 의자입니다. 조명 스탠드는 등받이 역할도 하며, 빛은 앉은 사람의 손 위로 떨어집니다. 램프는 어두운 곳에서 가까이 다가온 사람에게 반응하여 켜지고 꺼집니다. 조명의 위치는 앞뒤로 조절할 수 있습니다. 호타루는 좌판, 다리, 스탠드, 조명 유닛의 네 부분으로 구성되며 금속 부속품 없이 조립됩니다. 좌판의 적층 합판은 그대로 드러나도록 하여 나무의 따뜻함을 보여줍니다. 침대 옆에 두면 호타루는 사이드 테이블이자 조명으로도 활용됩니다. 이 디자인은 공간이 협소한 주거 환경에 적합합니다.

Chair, lighting, furniture, reading, prefabricated
Production Technology
By showing the laminated plywood on the seat, we left the warmth of the wood. It can be assembled without using metal fittings
Design Challenge
I had a hard time deciding the angle of my legs. Since the overall balance changes depending on the angle, I adjusted it little by little with the mockup.
Research
Japanese houses have small floor plans and little space for furniture, so I researched furniture to put in a small space. Since chairs take up space in furniture, it was a new proposal by giving the backrest multiple functions of lighting.
Inspiration
Due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, the amount of time spent at home has increased. I designed a chair with integrated lighting for reading books in order to enrich my time alone. This work was inspired by performers who were spotlighted on stage. Because it was similar to reading a book with a light in a dark room. It turns on and off in the dark in response to people. The blinking appearance looks like a firefly that emits a fantastic and gentle light. I named it Hotaru in Japanese.
Project Duration
The Lamp stool was designed in Okinawa in 2022.
Operation Flow
This chair is used by assembling four parts: seat, feet, stand, and lighting. The position of the lighting can be adjusted back and forth.
