CARDBOARD CATHEDRAL FURNITURE　2013
紙のカテドラル　家具

Beginning with the chairs, all 15 furniture items were designed including the desks, pulpit, music stands for the choir, donation boxes, candle holders, and bulletin board. The main materials used were wood and paper tubes, and by expressing the verticality inherent to these materials, each item was carefully designed to compliment the overall ambiance of the cathedral.
椅子をはじめ、机、説教台、聖歌隊の譜面置き、募金箱、ろうそく立て、掲示板など、全15種類ほどの家具のデザインをした。木材と紙管をメインの材料として用い、それらが垂直にのびていく方向性を重視してデザインすることにより、大聖堂全体の雰囲気とマッチすることを心がけた。
