Petal chair
This work features an intimate and intricate symmetrical design of "petals" cut from a single piece of pipe; the minimalist approach of bare metal is transformed in this concept into a beautiful "Kiku" chrysanthemum flower-shaped chair. This beautifully proportioned chair is composed of only two metal components in a design that combines both simplicity and intricacy at the same time: one pipe is cut into 96 slits or ribs for the sitting portion, while the support section is composed of twin legs. Simultaneously "sharp" and "elegant," this design invokes both the industrial and the aesthetic.

CHASEN:The light fixture with an implicit elegant from of Chasen
The Chasen, a bamboo tea whisk, is equipment for the Japanese tea ceremony to smoothly blend the powdered green tea called Matcha with hot water in a tea bowl. Each Chasen is carefully handcrafted in 9 steps. The Chasen has an over 500-years history, and has been designated as a Traditional Craft Product by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Retaining the original beauty and the traditional quality of Chasen, this light fixture creates an exquisite form with a delicate and soft glow.
Bamboo is remarkable, eco-friendly material which not only grows and expands quickly but also helps reduce more carbon dioxide than other plants during its growth period.

Every scar on a tree reflects its growth and history and creates its unique characteristics. While looking at a tree's scars, with their natural beauty and warmth, my mind wonders and imagines the tree's history.
The main material used is Japanese cypress obtained from thinning, the practice of selective removal of trees in the forest. Applying a minimal design, I conserve the veauty of nature to create this work. In places, I have also used recyclable steel for the base and energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) light source.
By using such recycled materials, I think of the materials and environment of the future.
