異なる大きさの3つの小さな箱を、地形のように段差やすきまを設けながら白いスチールシートで包み込み、そのボリュームに脚を付けて立ち上げた小さな収納家具である。こうした形式は、何の疑いもなく、ただ何かをしまい込むために箱形になってしまう収納家具への“問い”から生まれている。
収納するモノによって形が決まるのではなく、表情のある形が先にあり、そこに何を収納するかを考えたくなること。それを誘発すること。「 Lono(ロノ)」のユニークな佇まいはそのためのきっかけであり、家具と使い手の関係性を再考するための“身振り”なのである。

Three small different-sized boxes are stuck up, with a little gap and steps just like topography. Then it is covered by a white steel sheet, and the whole volume is lifted up with legs to form compact storage furniture. This design was started from my “question” about storage furniture, which often made as a simple box for storing things without thinking.
The idea is that the shape of furniture will not decide what to store, but first there is a shape designed with expression, and that makes users want to think what to store inside.
“Lono” is inviting users to imagine how to use it, and its unique form is meant to be “gestures”, giving a good chance to reconsider the relationship between users and furniture.
