The movement of tilting back chairs just like students do in a classroom is most severe structurally for chairs, and it is highly likely to give heavy damage to chairs. This is the reason why the same movement is adopted in the standard strength test of chairs as shown in the contained movie. Chairs are jerked in the backrest with the weight of 60 kg on the seat.

The ball pit is a classic Japanese childhood memory, especially from the old rooftop department store playgrounds. We created an elevated version using high-quality hardwood waste from our furniture production. Here is the delightful irony: The balls are imperfectly round to cut costs, but this inefficiency created an unexpected secondary effect—the irregular shapes grant the pit significantly higher fluidity, resulting in a superior play experience. While we aim for 100% wood utilization (joining pieces longer than 150 mm), the smallest offcuts remain a challenge. We seek ambitious consumers who see a sophisticated future for our beautiful, durable wooden balls after the kids "leave the nest."

Whenever history grinds to a halt, "revolutionaries" emerge to decapitate the status quo. But in our race for efficiency, are we losing the "soul" of the objects around us? From the silence of electric engines to the sanctuary of Hokkaido timber, we analyze the enduring essence of the chair.

Morgan 4/4 survived for 80 years only to be killed by a spreadsheet. Join me as I deconstruct the "irrational" beauty of the wooden car frame, argue against the myth of free will in neoliberalism, and explain why the survival of the Morgan is a mirror for the future of the wooden furniture industry.

【Mystery of a mirror image】 This question is too difficult to solve in this article. It still remains a mystery unsolved for more than 2000 years. Maybe, some secrets like this should stay secret to keep the world fun. Anyway, if I rem...

If Totoro looked like a human, he’d be the star of a horror movie. This article explores the "Uncanny Valley"—the psychological dip where "almost human" becomes "terrifying." Learn why we fear zombies and how organic furniture design avoids the "creepy" factor to create true comfort.
