About Flowerblock Tekje
Flowerblock hem saklaýyş mebeli, hem otag bölüji hökmünde hyzmat etmek üçin döredilen tekjedir. Dizaýn Okinawa arhitekturasynda ulanylýan, güýçli gün şöhlesini süzüp, howanyň geçmegine mümkinçilik berýän geometrik gözenekli nagyşly beton bloklardan — gül bloklaryndan ylham alnandyr. Gutularyň arasyndaky boşluklar tekjä ýeňil we açyk görnüş berýär. Poslamaýan polatdan ýasalan çybyklar durnuklylyk üçin gutulary birleşdirýär, gaty ak derek agajy agram düşýän nokatlary goldaýar, faner bolsa umumy agramy azaldýar. Tekjäniň arka paneli ýok, şonuň üçin ony diwara söýäp ýa-da otagyň ortasynda ýerleşdirip bolýar.

- 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

- 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.
