「三本脚のドロワー」は、日本古来の道具の成り立ちとも通底する「最小限の足し算」によってデザインされており、日本独自のミニマリズムを表現しています。通常、四方を支えなければ成立しない引き出し構造を、3本の脚で、且つ外側にケース（箱）を必要としない新しい構造によって再定義。従来の引き出し構造が必ず個別に持つ、レール、レール溝、取手などの要素を、同じディテールで兼ねているのも大きな特徴です。3本脚で立つ方形のオブジェクトは確かな象徴性を放ち、引出しが浮遊したかのような不思議な感覚を受け手に与えます。2021年初出展ながらIFDA国際家具デザインコンペティション旭川にて次点にあたるシルバーリーフ賞を受賞。

Three-Legged Drawer was designed by “minimal addition,” which underlies the origins of Japan’s time-honored tools and represents a uniquely Japanese minimalism. The structure of the drawers, which normally needs to have four sides to be stably supported, is redefined through a new structure with three legs and no need for outer casing. Another major feature is that the separate components that a conventional drawer structure always has (rails, rail grooves, and handles) are here layered into the same detail. A square object standing on three legs gives off a certain symbolism, and the drawers give the viewer an uncanny sense of floating. It was winner of the Silver Leaf Prize (second place) at the International Furniture Design Competition Asahikawa 2021, its first exhibition.
