About Mass Series Sumi Limited Møbelkolleksjon
Mass Series Sumi Limited er en møbelkolleksjon som omfatter en spisestol, en loungestol, et salongbord, to krakker og et stumtjener. Hvert møbel kombinerer en stålramme med romslig høvlet sedertre hentet fra gamle trær. Sedertreet er svidd etter en tradisjonell metode som forbedrer holdbarheten og fremhever tydelige årringer, noe som skaper en blank, svart overflate med en sjelden tekstur. Den mørke finishen viser til Noyaki, gressbrenningen i Aso-området, der mennesker og natur lever side om side. Serien er begrenset til 25 eksemplarer per år.

- Brand is based in Minami-Oguni, Kumamoto prefecture. Minami-Oguni is a town located to the north of Aso caldera which has an active volcano to this day. Aso caldera is internationally famous and about 50,000 people call it home. Rather than just making products, Brand came about with an ambition to protect and preserve the landscape and natural resources that communities cherished and harness it for future generations.

- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 in Kumamoto and finished in July 2020 in Tokyo Japan, and was exhibited in Designart Tokyo in 2020.
- Operation Flow
