KOBO TRESTLE

幅=600mm
奥行き=450mm
高さ=697mm

KOBO TRESTLE は1本の木材と2本のスチール脚でつくられた、天板を乗せるためのシンプルな架台(うま)です。三本脚で接地することにより安定性が増し、また足元のスペースも広く使うことができます。水平方向に重ねてコンパクトに収納できます。KOBO SIDE STOOL と組み合わせることで、統一感が生まれます。

KOBO TRESTLE

Width = 600mm
Depth = 450mm
Height = 697mm

Designed with one wooden leg and two steel legs, the KOBO TRESTLE is designed for a tabletop to simply be rested on top. The three-legged structure increases stability, with plenty of space for one's legs under the ensuing table. Multiple units can be stacked laterally and stored in a compact manner. When paired with the KOBO SIDE STOOL, a sense of unity can be felt.

Design : Keiji Ashizawa
(b. 1973) lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from Yokohama University School of Architecture in 1995, Ashizawa spent the first ten years of his career working as both an architect and steel fabricator. The unique skills and experience gained throughout these early years, including a valued understanding of metals, continue to influence his approach to design.

Keiji Ashizawa presents work of ‘honest’ design – simple yet refined, thoughtful and of a light manner – derived naturally through the process of attempting to maximise the potential of each material and its function. He excels in applying these ideas to projects of various scale, from furniture and lighting design to architecture and exhibition design.

His furniture and lighting have been exhibited internationally since 2001.

In 2011, Ashizawa was awarded a ‘Special Award’ by the Japan Institute of Design for his principal participation in the inception of Ishinomaki Laboratory – a DIY furniture workshop established in Ishinomaki city, Japan, after it was devastated by the tsunami triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
