「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、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。

TIME SPACE EXISTENCE 出展
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.
