About Mass Series Sumi Limited Koleksyon ng Muwebles

Ang Mass Series Sumi Limited ay isang koleksyon ng muwebles na binubuo ng isang silyang pangkainan, isang lounge chair, isang coffee table, dalawang stool at isang sabitan ng amerikana. Pinagsasama ng bawat piyesa ang balangkas na bakal at maluwag na kinatam na sedar mula sa matatandang puno. Ang sedar ay sinusunog gamit ang tradisyonal na pamamaraan na nagpapabuti sa tibay at naglalantad ng malinaw na mga hibla ng kahoy, na lumilikha ng makintab na itim na ibabaw na may pambihirang tekstura. Ang madilim na pinis ay tumutukoy sa Noyaki, ang pagsusunog ng damuhan sa lugar ng Aso, kung saan sama-samang namumuhay ang tao at kalikasan. Limitado ang serye sa 25 yunit bawat taon.

Unique Properties

Production Technology
Unique texture created by charred cedar
It is a traditional method to charred cedar to make durable furniture. The process involves skills and experience to bring out cedar defined grains just right. This is what produces the unique texture and rare finish to the furniture.
Design Challenge
Charred inky black represents the culture
Cedar is charred to gain glossiness and organic feature with defined grains. Charred colour reminds us of noyaki. It represents Aso history and beauty of harmonic lifestyle with nature.

Research
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.
