Mass Series Sumi Limited Furniture

Mass Series Sumi Limited

Mass Series Sumi Limited is a furniture collection that includes a dining chair, a lounge chair, a coffee table, two stools and a coat hanger. Each piece combines a steel frame with generously planed cedar taken from old trees. The cedar is charred by a traditional method that improves durability and brings out defined grains, creating a glossy black surface with a rare texture. The dark finish refers to Noyaki, the grassland burning of the Aso area, where people and nature live together. The series is limited to 25 units per year.

Flowerblock Shelf

Flowerblock

Flowerblock is a shelf designed to serve as both storage furniture and a room divider. The design is inspired by flower blocks, concrete units with geometric openwork patterns used in Okinawan architecture, which filter strong sunlight while letting air pass. Gaps between the boxes give the shelf a light and open appearance. Stainless steel rods connect the boxes for stability, solid white ash supports the load-bearing points, and plywood reduces the overall weight. The shelf has no back panel, so it can be placed against a wall or in the centre of a room.

Balanco Sofa

Balanco

Balanco is a modular sofa designed for contemporary interiors. The name refers to the cantilever, the structural principle used to reduce the perceived weight of the piece. Balanco combines a suspended upholstered base, a solid wood backrest and an integrated natural stone side table on a metal support. Visible support points are minimized, so the large volume appears light. Solid wood, brass, stone, linen, leather and velvet create a contrast between material density and visual lightness. The total length is 3500 mm.

White marble is combined with lapis lazuli through stone inlay and stone overlay, two traditional Indian crafts made by hand. The sideboard can be dismantled, and each leg is fixed to the top, which eases transport.
