“epilogue - prologue”May the end of the story lead the beginning of the following story. The “epilogue - prologue” is a collection that is produced by considering the ending of products. To give another purpose to things usually thrown away, to adjust forms and functions along with growth and difference, or to store memories of everyday life. Such ideas add a new page to the relationship between people and products. Because numerous things are disposed commonly today, we need to recognize the value of this new relationship. If the relationship between people and products lasts longer, and can maintain functions with memories, a prologue to new story will begin. The “epilogue - prologue” is the collection of furniture and home accessories that walk along together for a long period of time.

“fadeless“
Stop the time. The vase for dried flowers hung upside down and slowly dried. Although flowers fade eventually once they are picked, this vase can defy the fate. The upside down flower slowly stops the time and start a new life with its dedicate beauty. This work was presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan 2012.

“O3 Hand Washer” is a hand washing machine which can generate "ozone water".

This is an interactive musical instrument which generates ‘mirage’ by surrounding the audience spatially with music and images. It detects the emotions of the audience with sensors and reflects them into music and images. It has a projector that composes 360 degrees visual space. A player chooses sound loops on the touch panel and images are generated adaptively. The acrylic panels of the body are faintly brightened with full color LEDs and they are also physical input by touching. This instrument can make a dance floor everywhere temporarily.
The software is based on the game engine we have developed. It runs fast and can manage music, images, camera and sensors in real-time. The contents are written by a scripting language. It is also powerful and flexible enough to apply complex digital signage.

This project was supported by IPA mitoh program 2011（http://www.ipa.go.jp/english/humandev/third.html）

“CATHEDRAL” is a low table inspired by Gothic architectures. It consists of molded plywood and two types of metal fitting. Although the parts themselves have only limited strength, once they are assembled into a complete structure, all the force applying onto the structure will be redirected towards the center, and hence gives it stability and strength.This work was presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan 2011.
