Furniture for Shodoshima House

Furniture for Shodoshima House

Environmental surface replication

A collaborative project with "Monoya," a studio in Kyoto that handles various items such as antiques and collected objects of value, and uses these collected objects as seeds for new ideas to carry out spatial composition and the design of fixtures and furniture products.
For the renovation project "Shodoshima House," planned and designed by SUNAKI, we designed and produced furniture. Using lighting, fusuma paintings, and pillars that existed before the renovation, we applied physical effects such as "replication," "stretching," "painting over," and "distortion" to transform the meaning and function of objects.

[Gray Lighting]
By painting over the transparent parts of several lights placed in the atrium space of the main house with gray, we partially eliminate the function of the lighting, showcasing the interesting shapes of the lights themselves, creating a state where they can also serve as furniture or ornaments.

[Mountain Stool]
A stool made by cutting out the mountain from the fusuma painting that existed in the detached house, printing it on a wooden panel. In addition to being used as a stool, it can also be used like a stage prop.

[Bent Pillar Bench]
A bench made by bending pillar material. Normally, the pillars stand vertically, but by laying them horizontally and bending them, we create slanted parts.

小豆島ハウスのための家具

京都で古道具や価値を見出された蒐集物など様々な物を取り扱い、またそれらの蒐集物を新しい発想の種とし、空間構成や什器 / 家具プロダクトなどの設計 業務を行うスタジオ「ものや」との共同プロジェクト。
砂木が企画・設計を手掛けたリノベーションのプロジェクト「小豆島ハウス」のための家具をデザイン・制作した。リノベーションする以前の状態にあった照明・ふすま絵、柱を用い、「複製」、「引き伸ばし」「塗りつぶし」、「歪曲」などのデジタルライクなエフェクトを物理的にあたえ、物を意味・機能を組み換え変容するプロダクト。

[グレー照明]
母屋吹き抜け空間内に配置されたいくつかの照明の透明部分をグレーに塗りつぶすことで、照明の機能を部分的に消失させ形そのものの面白さを見せることで、家具にも置物にもなり得る状態を作り出す。

[山スツール]
離れに存在していたふすま絵の山を切り出し、木パネルに印刷し作られたスツール。スツールとして座れるほか、舞台大道具の書き割りのようにも使える。

[曲げ柱ベンチ]
柱材を曲げて制作されたベンチ。通常は垂直に立っている柱を横に寝かしてまげて斜めの部分を作る。
