About Flowerblock Раф
Flowerblock рафест, ки ҳамчун мебели нигоҳдорӣ ва ҳамзамон ҷудокунандаи ҳуҷра тарҳрезӣ шудааст. Тарҳ аз флауэрблокҳо — воҳидҳои бетонӣ бо нақшҳои шабакавии геометрӣ, ки дар меъмории Окинава истифода мешаванд ва нури шадиди офтобро полоида, ҳаворо мегузаронанд — илҳом гирифтааст. Фосилаҳои байни қуттиҳо ба раф намуди сабук ва кушода мебахшанд. Милаҳои пӯлоди зангногир қуттиҳоро барои устуворӣ ба ҳам мепайванданд, чӯби яклухти шумтоли сафед нуқтаҳои борбардорро дастгирӣ мекунад ва фанер вазни умумиро кам менамояд. Раф панели пушт надорад, аз ин рӯ онро ҳам ба девор такя дода ва ҳам дар маркази ҳуҷра гузоштан мумкин аст.

- Unique Properties
- This shelf deliberately leaves space between boxes, creating an overall cool and light impression. Light and air pass through the gaps, reducing visual pressure and creating a pleasant sense of openness in the space. Its open, airy presence, reminiscent of Okinawa's climate, evokes a refreshing feel even in hot seasons, bringing a gentle rhythm to the room it occupies. It is a design that considers not only functionality but also visual coolness.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 2000mm x 400mm x 1020mm

- Production Technology
- Stainless steel rods connect the boxes, ensuring durability and stability. The surfaces where these rods are inserted utilize solid white ash wood for its superior strength, providing robust support to load-bearing areas. Meanwhile, plywood is used for other sections to achieve overall weight reduction.
- Design Challenge
- To make the structure viable, we went through numerous trials and errors. Ensuring sufficient strength and stability proved particularly challenging. However, increasing strength inevitably added weight, so we also struggled to balance robustness with lightness.
- Research
- We conducted a durability test to verify how much weight the two stainless steel rods can withstand.
- Inspiration
- This shelf was designed inspired by Flower Blocks widely used in the architecture of my hometown, Okinawa. Flower Blocks are concrete blocks featuring geometric openwork patterns. They possess the characteristic of blocking strong sunlight while allowing pleasant breezes to pass through, combining practicality and decorative appeal. I focused on this functional beauty and incorporated a structure conscious of pathways for light and wind into the shelf's design.
- Project Duration
- The project commenced in Okinawa in April 2025.
- Operation Flow
- This shelving unit is intentionally designed without a back panel, allowing it to serve not only as storage furniture but also as a partition that gently divides a room. By not completely blocking sightlines or light, it maintains an open feel while enabling zoning according to purpose. Another key feature is its flexibility in placement it can be installed not only against walls but also in the center of a room or near windows. It adapts flexibly to changes in lifestyle and spatial usage.
