Arc

With Arc, a curved edge resembles the inner shape of an airplane overhead bin to fill excess space. To improve maneuverability, the rotatable telescopic handle is placed on the shorter side of the suitcase, along with 360 rotating spinner wheels. Arc also features three pull handles, flush with the casing. The side and bottom handle provides ease of use when lifting or removing from an overhead bin. A water-resistant casing protects the inside from damage, and the padded side pocket creates a safe, easily accessible compartment for a laptop.

Shapes of Light

As a scarf design collaboration, Shapes of Light expresses diverse forms of light. The entire project was inspired by natural phenomena: the sunrise on the sea, building lights in the city at night, and the soft moonlight in the evening. The illustration concepts with a geometric, minimalistic visual style were transformed into actual products with woven textile technology. It took more than 30 steps in total to achieve the final result. Based on the idea of a wearable, tangible gallery, these textile designs can be used for daily accessories or home decorations.

Hitoe Fold Aria

What makes this wallet unique is its thinness. This is achieved by a unique layout in which cards and coins do not overlap. It is also small with a lean configuration. Yet, it provides ample storage capacity suitable for a cashless society. The inner hook that hooks onto the cards to be stored acts as a fastener while preventing the cards from falling out unexpectedly. Payment can be completed with a minimum of actions. Made of vegetable-tanned leather from Italia and manufactured with Japanese traditional craftsmanship.
