Product Description

由三枚垂直燒杉支撐著的書架。 經過燃燒的事物,就一定會變成灰燼,甚麼都不留下嗎?不一定。以燒杉工藝燃燒過的木材,在碳層的保護下反而變得更堅固,能夠防潮防蟲,大幅延長使用壽命。燒黑的木材承托著潔白無垢的木板,這是一種設計語言,也是我們希望傳達的象徵:經過焚燒而留下的,會變成生活的支撐,推動我們追尋有價值的事物。

A bookshelf supported by three vertical charred ash planks. Do things that are burnt always turn to ashes and leave nothing behind? Not necessarily. Wood that has undergone the Shou Sugi Ban charring process becomes more durable under the protection of the carbon layer, making it resistant to moisture and insects, significantly extending its lifespan. The charred wood supports the pristine, pure white shelves, which serves as a design language and a symbol we wish to convey: what remains after burning becomes the support for life, driving us to pursue what is worthwhile.
