One day, I was staring at the ocean. Listening to the sound of waves, it occurred to me that I want to sit on waves.
People have come to sit on flat surfaces without realizing. But their favorite places aren't always flat.
It is very pleasant to sit on more natural and beautiful curves.
The way these beautiful curves gently sway is like waves in the ocean.
Inspired by that, we named it "NAMI," which means "wave" in Japanese.
This stool, like everything in nature, has no front or flat surface, allowing you to sit freely.
By utilizing 3D printing technology, we aimed to create a new existence that is not artificial furniture that already exists in the world, but rather as if it were one with nature.
And this presents a new potential to the behavior of people sitting on something.
This stool was created by breaking away from "manufacturing with a 3D printer as a replacement for an existing chair" and exploring the new appeal created by the new manufacturing method of the 3D printer.
Considering the environment, we use Bio-based Engineering Plastic whose main raw material is plant-derived isosorbide, which has excellent durability, optical properties, and light resistance.
Bio Tsuyoshi Uchida founded Uchida Space Design Studio Inc. in 2017 and has been creating many pieces of furniture and housing, mainly in Fukuoka, Japan.
In 2024, the company launched "+0.2 plus-zeropointtwo”, Japan's first interior brand specializing in 3D printing, and is expanding its business mainly in Japan.
He aspires to give “form” to emotions, natural fluctuations, and being moved, his design activities are aimed at creating a new existence, not just an extension of conventional manufacturing.
