Waiting SL

Judge's comment
In hospital lobbies, which tend to have an inorganic image, the chair's three-dimensional, soft appearance creates a sense of peace. The surface material is easy to clean while still exuding a high-quality texture. The armrests are strong and large enough to provide firm support when sitting down and standing up. The three-dimensional shape provides high cushioning, and the comfortable seating also contributes to the high-quality feel, giving the chair a sense of quality that will be required in hospitals of the future.

Judge's comment
In recent years, school education has become more diverse in learning styles and active learning is expected, such as active learning, PBL, and workshops, but many school furniture have not taken such diversity into consideration. Flexible furniture is necessary for diverse learning, and it is desirable that it be simple and lightweight. This product takes into consideration modern educational content and is suitable for actual usage conditions. It can be expected to be effective not only in educational institutions but also in creative work environments.

Judge's comment
You can imagine how it can be used as an active stool suitable for creative office work. There are other chairs with similar movements, but the fact that they take movement into account is new. The product has been put together as an attractive product due to its movement, weight balance, and casual color. It is hoped that by introducing these types of chairs into offices, we will be able to experience changes in the way we work and the workplace environment in the future.
ADRED

Judge's comment
A glass partition product that combines high design and sound insulation. In recent years, with the diversification of working styles and changes in workers awareness, various office plan types have become necessary, but this product realizes a minimalist design that eliminates elements that impede the design of the space. With existing products, sound insulation had to be sought in steel partition products, and different products had to be used, but with this product, sound insulation can be expected from the glass partition, and by combining aesthetics with functionality, it expands the possibilities of office space design.
