ハンドルのデザインは、握り心地の良さと握りたくなることが大事です。木の丸棒にペーパーコードを巻くことで､今回その二つを満たすプロダクトを目指しました。また、ハンドルのみならずタオル掛けとしても機能します。

When designing a handle, it is important that it is made to have a pleasant feel when holding, and appealing enough to encourage one to touch and hold. By braiding paper cord around a wooden rod, we aimed to satisfy both of these terms. Not only is it functional as a handle, but it can also be used as a towel hanger.
Design : Keiji Ashizawa
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.
