Horizontal composition cabinet
Sideboards from Time & Style
Product description
W600×D450×H900
Concept
To make it look like a cube that offers the solid impression of wood, the entire main body is made using thick wood veneers so that it conveys the natural atmosphere of the material. The sense of unity comes from the horizontal lines of the wood grain.
The four legs supporting the main body are made with the same solid-wood material as the main body. So that the entire cabinet will not look heavy while showing the texture of wood, the inner sides of the legs are processed to depict soft curves, giving the cabinet a light presence. The horizontal handholds of the cabinet, made by minimally hollowing out slits, add a transversely extended impression to the cabinet where the design would normally look heavy because of the materials, but instead bring a sense of unity and continuity to the cabinet drawers where the appearance would otherwise be stereotypical. By placing cabinets of the same height side by side, and aligning the lines of the handholds and the doors and drawers, you can let the diverse combination maintain continuity in a uniform rhythm. The impression of this cabinet is formed by the slits, which offer both a handhold and a good design with a sense of extension, as well as the natural atmosphere of the wood material.
"We consider the cube as a basis for products. We believe that the basis of things exists in cubes and spheres, and cubes contain a universal starting point for every product. There is a reason why the earth and moon are round. Structures such as houses and boxes consist of the simplest cubes, and larger-scale structures are also made of a cubic composition. In contrast, plants and animals, including humans, have more complicated forms. Blood vessels all over the human body have structures and functions to allow smooth blood flow.
The human body can be moved freely without any problems. This can only be called a miracle of nature. In nature, essential forms have been developed over a long period of time. We believe that we should learn from the basic elements of living organisms and substances. By doing so, we may be able to find forms and appearances of things that fit in with future life.
This dining table utilizes the exact cubic shape. The legs vertically extend to the tabletop, forming the tabletop frame. The rungs, connecting the legs, also form the tabletop frame for the very simple table. The tabletop frame, surrounded by solid wood legs and rungs, provides a framing effect to brace the entire table. Since the tabletop is designed to be placed inside the frame, an expression resembling a lake on a ground was given to the glass tabletop. In addition to the glass tabletop, a wooden tabletop with an attached thick wood veneer is also available. Furthermore, the Horizontal table series has different-sized dining tables, as well as low tables. The low tables are designed with drawers, in order to provide functionality while maintaining the simple design.
This cubic table has the simplest form, but most appropriately expresses the philosophy of Time & Style. With its composition of a simple form and materials, the table can be used for years without becoming boring, changing its expression in various situations. Since the thickness of the legs and tabletop and the compatibility with chairs become more important when a table has a simpler form, we paid the most attention to the sizes of the parts and the balance between them. A fine balance greatly affects the appearance of the product, particularly when it has a simple design. The simple table has important details, and they are very vital factors."
