In Japan, there has a culture of folding and putting things away since ancient times. At that time, bedding was folded and stored neatly every day, and clothes were also folded and put away in chests.
Since it is an island nation with few flat areas, it is important to make effective use of limited resources. For that reason, “folding culture” was born with modesty as a virtue.

One fun and simple expression of these “folding culture” is circular handkerchief product called “Ori Ori”. When it is unfolded, it has a geometrical pattern, but when it is folded, you will be able to catch a glimpse of Japan.

Since electric energy has become widespread due to its environmentally friendly, convenience, safety, and sustainability, ‘fire’ has become something special, and we feel it become further and further from our daily lives.
In Japan, fire is used for not only just a light or heat, but also cleansing or heeling. Thus, fire is used for events such as shrine rituals; purification and fishing; for luring fish. Many tools for daily life centered on fire were created in the unique culture, such as paper lanterns, mobile lanterns, sunken hearths, small charcoal grill, and brazier.

“COCA”, burnt fire is called in Japanese, is a product to feel the presence of light and shadow, color, flickering, heat, and ‘fire’.
Rather than giving fire a special role, I hope that the unchanging value of fire can create something new in the time we spend and the emotions we feel. By adding the appeal and effects of fire to our daily lives, we can bring comfort and enriches of “fire and time” for people's lives.

This product was designed based on the idea of ‘arumono,’ something that exists and renewable. There are first rate products on the market, the second rate products that lie behind first rate products,
The “A” products that appear on the market, the “B” products that lie behind those A products, as well as scrap materials, off-specification materials, and waste materials exist as materials. The meaning of this project is to reconstruct the value of each rate products with some materials.
“COCA” is made of materials related to fire, soil, wood, and wind with artificial materials and technologies as ‘arumono.’

In Japan, people have formed their own unique culture by learning and adopting the excellent things from other culture. It means that the core of our culture has flexibility and curiosity to accept new things. Our product ‘THE ISU’ is created by balance new material, concrete canvas, and a reliable technology to realize our idea. Concrete canvas is a combination material of special cement and canvas fabric, which is highly flexible before it gets wet, and hardens while maintaining its shape when it reacts with water. We reflect our culture of sitting on the floor and designed the height of seat to be slightly lower than usual to pursue a design that is familiar and loved. By maintaining the lightness of the fabric on the surface, but making it stand on its own with the strength of concrete, it is able to create a combination of a generous and lovely form and a mysterious sense of tension.

‘THE ISU’ is also rocking, which makes it fun to sit in, and we wish everyone to share the experience of sitting in it.
