NIWATORI NEZUMI HARINEZUMI

NOKAMI MOKKO is the company who produce tambourine and hand bell for educational and professional use. We aim to design the tambourine that could blend into everyday life without discarding the quality of the sound and safety of the product. The project focuses on the value of the good sound quality, which could only be heard in cymbals for professional use, or bells for the shrine, and bring it into the everyday life. By designing the 3 type of animal-like form that look so familiar with, the complete product is easy to grasp and feel good to have it around, unintentionally. The final design is blending the line between musical instruments and interior objects.

BINCHOTAN no BONSAI

Kishu Binchotan charcoal which originate in Wakayama prefecture, not only has an ability to deodorising and balancing the humidity, it also have various minerals and detoxification performance. We begin the project by giving a form to the charcoal, which connecting its properties and function to the usage in everyday life’s scene in various situation. User can freely arrange the layout of the charcoal piece on an artificial marble base, giving both its purpose as a functional and interior object. By placing the piece in the living room , toilet , or in the cupboard, the piece could help deodorising the air and balancing the humidity. Users can also make their glass of mineral water easily, by just putting a piece of charcoal into a glass of water. Or putting it into a rice cooker will make the rice cooked softer. By its rigid structure and density of the material, we can give it a very beautiful sculptural form and make the design possible.

We decided to make a nest of shallow-bottomed boxes made from japanese cypress. By applying a nano glass coating technology to its surface, the product will not worn out and not get dirty easily. By applying radius to the corner edge of the box will make it easier to clean, we also designed the form to be stackable, make it appropriate to every home party and everyday usage.

Ultra High Removal Sponge

By using a special type of micro-fibre produced by Aisen co.ltd call TREPICA, we made a sponge which has ultra-high dirt removal performance, which, can remove ink spot on the hand of the user using only tap water. By applying monotone colour the the series, the product posesses an unobtrusive quality which could blend into any situation of everyday life.

NATURE MEETS TECHNOLOGY

The exhibition was held at Maison Objet Paris, exhibited everyday objects from six companies from Wakayama prefecture. We create an installation piece using about four thousands of strings, which have 3 metres height. The installaion symbolized the combination of impressive nature of Wakayama, the cutting-edge technology, and the craftmanship of human skill. We created wide and silent space showing flagship products and its background on the grid system of the strings, By doing this, the quality of each product could be easily percieved, and lead the customer to pick up and try the products with thier hands. In Maison Objet Paris, which have thousands of exhibition boots, we aims to design an exhibition that could attract customers to stop by, and appreciate the value of the brand and the quality of the product from Wakayama.

METEO

DEMONSTRATION UNIT for MECHANICAL MOTION COMPONENT

This is the demonstration unit for presenting the feature of SR2 : Uni-Directional clutch. We created a demonstration unit that user can rise and fall the meteorite object by turning handle with less power. Actually this function has been used for rise and fall system on cart carrier or window shade for a long time, but it is hard to be recognized how innovative the function is, because this components are basically invisible due to installed inside of product. So, to creating the opportunity people face to the value of components is a big issue for them. TIDS derived the concept "Demonstration unit is representative for mechanical component company" and created demonstration unit that tells feature people's sense without the words.

HAGOROMO

DEMONSTRATION UNIT for MECHANICAL MOTION COMPONENT

We designed a demonstration unit for SR3(High Durability Pressure Control Damper). The SR3 is a mechanical part which uses to control the movement of an object. It is used in mechanism such as a damper to slowdown the movement while opening and closing the door, which would make the movement more elegance and safe. User can adjust the torque and speed of the movement, even the objects with different weight can be adjusted to move at the same speed. It is a very flexible mechanical part which the function could be adjusted according to the needs. To design a demonstration unit to explain the mechanism,we created a model containing 2 metal wings in different size and weight. Even the weight and size of the wings are different, it move synchronously according to this mechanism feature. This demonstration model creates an elegance and intuitive visual, explaining the functional of this mechanical part.
