tokyo design week 08 preview: shin azumi


'dressing café table'

designer shin azumi has designed a series of furniture for aishin sieki co., ltd's bed
and bedding brand 'asleep', which is to be launched at tokyo design week. azumi's collection
of twelve pieces is called '24 / 7' and illustrates a new way of looking at the bedroom.
each piece of furniture is meant to challenge the concept of the bedroom, questioning whether
or not the space can act as more than just a place where we sleep at night.


'coat hook mirror'


'sofa back bed'


'valet chair'

These are supposed to "challenge the concept of the bedroom"?

You mean, someone might use a chair, a vanity, even a mirror and clothes hook,.... in a bedroom!?

True innovation.

Actually, these pieces have nice lines, and that's all. Why is that not enough?

It's time to stop writing bs and focus on the good aesthetic.
