About Mass Series Sumi Limited Kolekcija pohištva
Mass Series Sumi Limited je kolekcija pohištva, ki vključuje jedilni stol, počivalnik, klubsko mizico, dva stolčka in obešalnik za plašče. Vsak kos združuje jekleni okvir z velikodušno skobljano cedrovino, pridobljeno iz starih dreves. Cedrovina je ožgana po tradicionalni metodi, ki izboljšuje trajnost in poudari izrazite letnice, s čimer nastane sijoča črna površina redke teksture. Temni zaključek se navezuje na Noyaki, požiganje travnikov na območju Aso, kjer ljudje in narava živijo skupaj. Serija je omejena na 25 kosov na leto.

- 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.
- Inspiration
- Sumi limited is designed to express the unique Aso experience, where people and nature coexist and press on together in a majestic yet harsh volcanic environment, along with the seeds of life sprouting from the inky black world of Noyaki.
- 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
- Sumi limited is designed to express the unique Aso experience, where people and nature co-exist and press on together in a majestic yet harsh volcanic environment, along with the seeds of life sprouting from the inky black world of Noyaki. This series is limited to 25 units sold annually. The number is based on the 25 Oguni cedar saplings which were granted in the Edo period to grow forests.
