About Hotaru Kerusi Membaca
Hotaru ialah kerusi membaca dengan lampu tersepadu. Tiang lampu juga berfungsi sebagai sandaran belakang, dan cahaya lampu tertumpu pada tangan orang yang duduk. Lampu ini menyala dan terpadam dalam keadaan gelap sebagai tindak balas kepada kehadiran orang di sekitarnya. Kedudukan lampu boleh diselaraskan ke hadapan dan ke belakang. Hotaru dipasang daripada empat bahagian, iaitu tempat duduk, kaki, tiang dan unit lampu, tanpa sebarang pemasangan logam. Kayu lapis lamiant pada tempat duduk dibiarkan terdedah untuk menonjolkan kehangatan kayu asli. Apabila diletakkan di sisi katil, Hotaru juga berfungsi sebagai meja sisi dan lampu. Reka bentuk ini amat sesuai untuk rumah dengan ruang yang terhad.

- Unique Properties
- When we sit in a chair, it illuminates our hands brightly. The light stand acts as a backrest. It's a chair for reading, but it can also be used as a side table and lighting by placing it on the bedside.

- 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.
