It is simple and minimal design, but increasing beauty of the wood grain as well as reducing waste of materials by wooden patchwork. Decorate your wall with your favorite items like pinning a piece of paper.

Inspired from tidying up your mind with the way we are familiar to; covering the wall with your notes. The idea is converted to reduce mess to make space around you.

Air is a gaseous substance which becomes visible to the human eye underwater.

With the inspiration of the ‘air’ and ‘water’, and also exploration of acrylic material, this series of lights shows a simple design of tiny bubbles throughout the surface to emit a smoothing and calm effect.

Since acrylic is one of the materials which has flexibility in making forms when you heat it up, explorations inspired me to create appearance like a sheet of paper. It is also possible to create various shapes to widen this series.

nspired from the tea-loving commonality between Japanese and British cultures, this multi-purpose ‘mug teapot’ uses ceramic’s natural property of insulation and extends its capabilities with the design addition of the tea-light module: Using a traditional kitchenware material with a modern twist.

Place a tea light candle into the bottom module. Then set a top part onto the bottom. As your drink cools, the candle will warm your drink for a period longer. The addition of the wool cover protects your hands from the ceramic temperature; this is recommended to those with heat sensitive skin.

The idea is to use left over material to reduce waste. Turning with vertically patched wood creates beautiful surface on the plates as well as using a various type of wood reveals its characteristic.

Considering the grain direction of the wood to connet pieces and turn enhances its characteristic.  Additionally oil finish beautifully heighten its light and shade even more.

The place we live is limited. Finding a way to utilise the space for everyday life is important. “Walls” are to establish new relationships between people and the wall. It will be completed by users with their possessions such as bags, clothes, shoes, etc. The wall could give users an opportunity to enhance their creativity by creating their own flexible screen and space.

This is designed for a crowdfunding project" kickstarter" to suppport Goldsmiths MA Design show 2013: "Tilt".

The frame is made with acrylic + magnets which you can adjust angles horizontally and vertically, but it is still "tilting".

None of the things in the world stay the same, including shapes of books and magazines. Everything changes little by little as time goes by. The idea is to focus on the transformation of the shapes.

This unit is a quite simple, as repeatedly using same parts to construct. However, by having different height for each column and shelves, made looks interesting. It’s also flexible to add seating area, or could extend to have more shelves.

This simple idea could be developed in various scales, such as partition, tiny building or furniture.

If you look at it from different view points, it gives you various impressions.

Since it has a weird angle, it can keep the private space even if someone is over the shelf.

This is a bookshelf which could be a space divider.

Inspired from movement of the books on the shelf.

The columns are tilting a little by little and it create twisted view from top and looks falling down onto you from a side view but it is just illusion.

It is reachable from both side without seeing someone’s face who is actually oner the shelf by having an angle of the column.

Tables are predominantly communication-centric hubs. This design expresses a mixture of the different family and home culture that exists between traditional Japan with modern Britain through the medium of height. The deconstruction/ reconstruction element is simple but also offers an element of transformation.
