About Flowerblock 置物架
Flowerblock 是一款兼具收纳家具与空间隔断功能的置物架。其设计灵感来源于"花砖"——一种用于冲绳建筑、带有几何镂空图案的混凝土构件,既能过滤强烈的日照,又能让空气自由流通。箱体之间的间隙令置物架呈现出轻盈通透的视觉效果。不锈钢杆件将各箱体连接固定以确保稳定性,实木白蜡木用于承重节点,胶合板则减轻了整体重量。置物架不设背板,因此既可贴墙摆放,也可置于房间中央。

Press Kit
- 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.
