To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

This project is an upcycling activity that complements and displays "SCRAP" emitted from building materials and interiors materials as "FURNITURE," reuses it as recycled material, and returns it to the earth. According to an announcement by the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of industrial waste generated in Japan in 2020 will amount to 373.82 million tons*, and the amount of scrap generated per day will be nearly 1 million tons. We believe that it is our responsibility as creators, who come into contact with a variety of materials every day in our concept design work, to take the initiative in communicating to society and local communities about the recycling and use of the earth's limited resources. We have formed a team of young in-house creators and plan and manage projects as social contribution activities. By enclosing and supplementing pulverized waste materials into a transparent skin made of recycled vinyl as furniture, we will create displays to convey a message in an art-like manner and displays offices and public spaces in Japan and overseas. After being displays for a certain period of time, the materials will be returned to interiors and construction sites as interiors resources, and the project will be related to a traveling sustainability activity in which the next generation of waste materials will be enclosed, supplemented, and displays. In order to reach as many people as possible with our message, we held a launch displays in the entrance space of our office to solicit corporate sponsors, and received support from many corporate sponsors, local people, and educational institutions. By allowing everyone to see, learn about, and touch interiors waste materials that are not seen in everyday life, we hope that everyone will have an opportunity to think about a better future and a sustainable society. displays is based on an installation concept that allows you to feel the message. *Source: Ministry of the Environment “Total emissions in 2020”

Matsushita IMP Building commercial area renewal

Matsushita IMP Building commercial area renewal

This project renovated the commercial area of the Matsushita IMP Building, an office building located in Osaka Business Park. Since the station that was previously planned for this building still remains underground, we used the station as a concept design motif in the hope that it would become a hub for people to gather, just like in the previous plan. The round columns that extend across multiple floors throughout the facility have a strong mortar-like finish and metal framing, creating the base of a colonnaded space reminiscent of a train station. In the atrium on the west side, this framing is shaped like a continuous arch like a station arcade, and by echoing the existing R ceiling, it creates a sense of unity with the atrium. By incorporating the black/gold/patina colors and stone walls/plum shapes of Osaka Castle, which is adjacent to this building, into FF&E and the features, we will create an affinity with the memories that this land has inherited from 400 years ago. I let you have it. In addition, as many companies are creating environments where people can work outside of the office due to the coronavirus pandemic, we set up work spaces in the common areas of commercial areas and sought ways to create commercial office buildings that fit new work styles. . Furniture has been placed throughout the commercial area to accommodate a wide range of needs, from meetings to personal work. Each piece of furniture has a variety of features, including a sofa with a top that expands into an L-shape, a high-back chair that limits visibility and improves concentration, and a counter chair with a coat hanger. By arranging plants like partitions, we have created a space that can be used primarily as a workplace on weekdays and as a resting space for tourists on holidays. We aim to create an open workplace where a variety of people gather, including not only office workers in the IMP Building, but also those working in the Osaka Business Park and even visitors, creating a place where new ways of working and new communication are born. I aimed for it.
