Located in Grand Green Osaka, this biomorphic bench is a 16 meter monumental seating system crafted from Japanese oak. The project utilizes advanced digital fabrication to assemble over 6,000 individual parts into 29 organic units. A proprietary concealed joint system successfully hides all metal fasteners. This sculptural public furniture merges traditional manual craftsmanship with parametric computational design, functioning seamlessly as both a relaxing bench and a vibrant planter within the lobby space.

Gera

Gera is a wooden design informed by Brazilian modernist furniture and the structural clarity present in the work of Geraldo de Barros. Crafted from certified Brazilian jequitiba wood and natural leather, it contains no metal components or visible fasteners. Concealed joinery preserves visual continuity, while tensioned leather surfaces respond to the body. Through material reduction, responsible sourcing, and structural precision, the work articulates an investigation into ergonomics and sustainable permanence.

The design presents a seat conceived as a public secret base, offering personal refuge within shared environments. Its structure balances sculptural presence with functional comfort, supporting extended use and social interaction. Curved surfaces and carefully proportioned elements create a sense of enclosure while maintaining openness. Natural finishes enhance durability, ease of maintenance, and graceful aging, allowing the piece to integrate into everyday living spaces while preserving tactile warmth.

Birdcage

Inspired by Suruga bamboo filigree, a traditional craft from Shizuoka Prefecture, this chair captures its timeless beauty in a contemporary design. The slender yet robust structure of steel allows the supple form to gently envelop the body, eliminating the coldness inherent in steel and creating an impression reminiscent of lace. Furthermore, the mirror-finished seat reflects a different world, enhancing the chair's presence. Steel is also an environmentally friendly material with a nearly 100% recycled content rate. This product is crafted using such materials by highly skilled artisans.

Bathroom Faucet

Formation 01

Formation 01 is a limited edition bathroom faucet. The design combines a sculptural form with advanced engineering and is made from Neolast, a composite material that allows unexpected texture and rich, saturated color. Striking angles and a bold Haptic Orange finish depart from traditional expectations for a faucet. A 3D printed internal waterway creates a sheet flow of water. An embossed cast iron escutcheon plate refers to a long history of material innovation. The faucet measures 300 mm in width, 207 mm in depth and 135 mm in height.
