We consider the cube as a basis for products. We believe that the basis of things exists in cubes
and spheres, and cubes contain a universal starting point for every product. There is a reason why
the earth and moon are round. Structures such as houses and boxes consist of the simplest cubes,
and larger-scale structures are also made of a cubic composition. In contrast, plants and animals,
including humans, have more complicated forms. Blood vessels all over the human body have
structures and functions to allow smooth blood flow. The human body can be moved freely without
any problems. This can only be called a miracle of nature. In nature, essential forms have been
developed over a long period of time. We believe that we should learn from the basic elements of
living organisms and substances. By doing so, we may be able to find forms and appearances of
things that fit in with future life.
This dining table utilizes the exact cubic shape. The legs vertically extend to the tabletop, forming
the tabletop frame. The rungs, connecting the legs, also form the tabletop frame for the very simple
table. The tabletop frame, surrounded by solid wood legs and rungs, provides a framing effect to
brace the entire table. Since the tabletop is designed to be placed inside the frame, an expression
resembling a lake on a ground was given to the glass tabletop. In addition to the glass tabletop, a
wooden tabletop with an attached thick wood veneer is also available. Furthermore, the Horizontal
table series has different-sized dining tables, as well as low tables. The low tables are designed with
drawers, in order to provide functionality while maintaining the simple design.
This cubic table has the simplest form, but most appropriately expresses the philosophy of TIME &
STYLE. With its composition of a simple form and materials, the table can be used for years without
becoming boring, changing its expression in various situations. Since the thickness of the legs and
tabletop and the compatibility with chairs become more important when a table has a simpler form,
we paid the most attention to the sizes of the parts and the balance between them. A fine balance
greatly affects the appearance of the product, particularly when it has a simple design. The simple
table has important details, and they are very vital factors.
