The "levi chair" has a simple design with minimal decoration, and is available in a variety of specifications and fabrics, making it suitable for coordination in various spaces such as office spaces, meeting spaces, and conference rooms. The upholstery uses a single stitch with a gusset, and the frame is trimmed as beautifully as possible to create a design that is visually pleasing.

In addition, you can adjust the seat surface and back to increase comfort with a single action, allowing you to adjust the comfort of your seat without stress. Furthermore, it has a function that smoothly supports leaning forward while working on a computer, etc., and a seat that sinks just the right amount the moment you sit down, providing a comfortable sitting experience that is suitable for any type of work.

The "QuA Chair" is a light task chair that uses a multi-sided mesh back design and has a light silhouette, but the backrest can be folded three-dimensionally to accommodate various postures. It supports your lower back and provides a comfortable sitting experience even when performing tasks that require concentration.

In addition, 18 different colors of upholstery are available, allowing you to choose the upholstery color to match your space in order to enhance your imagination and intellectual productivity in a variety of work situations. By mixing and using a variety of colors, you can create a playful space and coordinate your office space with a sense of unity.

"Lespas" provides an overwhelmingly wider legroom than conventional products, providing a comfortable and concentrating environment for students, and is equipped with a "lock and adjust mechanism" that makes it easy to change the layout to suit the lecture format, making it easy to understand at a glance. Achieved easy operability.

In recent years, lecture rooms have required products that can accommodate not only traditional lecture formats but also a variety of learning styles, and Lespas can meet these needs.

``ADDSITE'' allows you to set up semi-closed booths with a variety of configurations in the open space of your office, making it possible to work in a way that allows you to choose the most suitable location according to the content of your work. Each booth is carefully designed to control the sights and sounds around you, creating an environment where you can concentrate on the activities at each booth, improving efficiency and productivity.

In addition, the simple and soft panel design creates a comfortable office space without feeling oppressive. Furthermore, it has system features that allow for connection and rearrangement to accommodate changes in office layouts and booth expansion. ``ADDSITE'' enables booth settings specialized for each activity, such as one-person, two-person, or teamwork, and provides a comfortable work space in any office.

By uniquely combining HAX, which has no set usage or layout, anyone can create a workplace that suits their working style, bringing out unprecedented communication and creativity. Furthermore, by combining a wide variety of items that can be hacked to suit your work style, such as whiteboards, hanging panels, and sofas with casters, you can create a wide range of spaces for generating ideas and resting spaces.

HAX provides an opportunity to generate ideas that would not occur in a regular conference room.

One way to prevent a storage cabinet from falling over during an earthquake is to fix the top of the storage cabinet to the wall using an L-shaped bracket (hereinafter referred to as a wall fixing bracket), but this method cannot withstand the impact of a large-scale earthquake with a seismic intensity of 6 to 7. Otherwise, the wall fixing bracket may come off the wall and may not be able to provide sufficient protection against falls.

In response to such situations, the fall prevention unit "L-FORCE" uses unique technology (patent pending) to prevent earthquakes of magnitude 7 by simply being fixed and installed at the bottom of the wall of the storage room (no need to be fixed to the top of the wall or floor). Prevents the storage compartment from tipping over even at times.

The "i+ CONTAINER" is an item that neatly and beautifully stores items on your desk, such as A4 documents, laptops, and stationery. It is a personal container designed to allow workers who do not have assigned seats, such as those in hot desking, to work more flexibly due to changes in working styles. It comes with a removable pen tray and storage. The tray can store writing utensils, seals, smartphones, etc.

It is a product that is light and convenient and can be easily carried like a bag from your desk to a meeting place or even to your locker.

Savanna+, the first research facility product to win the Good Design Award Top 100, was developed not just as a test bench but also to enable researchers to realize a new work style. In order to build an ideal open laboratory, we ensure "visibility" in the room, which is the most important factor, and encourage true face-to-face interaction between researchers. By organizing storage methods in a workshop format, we achieved an output with sufficient storage capacity.

By revitalizing communication between researchers, we aim to create an environment that further accelerates scientific and technological innovation.
