Being Furniture -DESIGNART TOKYO 2024-

We exhibited "Being: The Existence of Furniture" at "DESIGNART TOKYO 2024," Japan's largest concept design and art festival (theme: "Reframing - The Beginning of Transformation -"). "Being: The Existence of Furniture" is a project that reconsiders the relationship between people and objects.
In our spatial concept design projects, we create many objects every day, but behind the scenes, we are concerned about the significant problem of these objects being discarded or becoming unused even though they are still perfectly usable.

When we consider situations where an object is used and cherished for a long time, we often find that a relationship develops where we feel attached to the object. In such times, we realize that our feeling has shifted from simply "owning and using" the object to a sense of "being with" it, where we care for it.

Therefore, I thought that noticing this shift in perception might be one way to solve the problem. The furniture presented in the project is neither particularly sturdy nor functionally superior. Rather, it has a certain instability and capriciousness that makes you want to take care of it.

If furniture transforms from something that "exists" to something that "is there," how will we interact with it? Through a series of experimental concept design in this project, we ask society about the transformation of value between people and objects.


Our company's vision is to "unlock all possibilities in space, starting with the creativity of each individual," and we are committed to creating spaces that enrich people's lives. As part of this, we challenge the social issues we face from a creative perspective and continue to exhibit at concept design events both domestically and internationally to create a cycle of communication, exchange, and innovation through output.
