Daiwa House, one of Japan’s largest house builders, invited us to develop a range of domestic furniture targeted at the owners of their high-end range called Eddi’s House.
We thought the interior of these houses were cold and plasticky but the open plan geometry worked well. Therefore, our goal was simple; to reflect the geometry of the house while injecting warmth through materials and finishes. We used ‘foamed’ aluminium and Panelite resin sheets with coloured metal legs and details, combined with walnut veneer on a very thin timber structure.
The result is a subtle and exciting combination of colour, materials and finishes reflecting the craft and technology of Japan with the simple geometric modernity of Eddi’s House.
大和ハウス社は、ハイエンドレンジのオーナーを対象とした「エディズハウス」のホーム用家具 のデザインを我々に依頼しました。
家のインテリアは無機質で、プラスチック感のあるものでしたが、開放感のある間取りと幾何学形状が上手く機能していました。そのため、我々は幾何学形状を反映させ、素材や仕上げによって暖かみを創りだす家具を目指しました。
発泡アルミニウムや非常に薄いウォールナットのベニヤ等を使用した結果、エディズハウスの幾何学的なモダンさと日本の工芸と技術が組み合わさった家具に仕上がりました。
