Vento has a very simple structure, consisting of a frame to show, a seat, and pipes connecting the frame. The simple and lean structure emphasizes the supple lines of the frame. The frame is laser cut out of a 6mm thick metal plate, making it strong, low in the center of gravity, and stable. The seat sinks lightly when you sit on it, and you can feel the elasticity of the metal.

- Unique Properties
- The design emphasizes the supple lines of the product through its simple, waste-free construction. The contrast between the organic lines and the heavy luster of the metal is striking. When placed alone, it has the beauty of a sculpture, and when multiple pieces are placed, it has the beauty of regularity like an architectural structure.

- Design Challenge
- I propose a new style of "show frame" by cutting out a sheet of metal. Our advanced metal laser cutting technology has made it possible to create a "show frame.
- Project Duration
- Designed in 2020, prototype produced in 2021.
- Operation Flow
- It is made so that you can feel the elasticity of the metal as it sinks when a person sits on it. The legs are cut out of metal sheets, so they are sturdy and have moderate weight. While it looks light, it has a low center of gravity and a sense of stability.
- Research
- A high stool has a high seat, which gives a light tension to the person sitting on it and attracts attention from others. I believe that a high stool needs to have a sculptural beauty of its own. I created a high stool that is beautiful just by sitting on it.
- Inspiration
- This high stool has a dynamic, organic form. The lines of the legs are inspired by an animal that kicks its way through the ground, and the thin seat is inspired by standing hair that flutters in the wind.It is a high stool that makes you look beautiful, as if you were sitting on the back of a supple animal running at full speed.
