UNIT
Tomoyuki Matsuoka 2016
UNIT has been designed on the basis of two key
characteristics, to adjust to different architectural
spaces.
The first is that it gives a light impression.
With its thin seat pad held by a frame configured
in horizontal and vertical lines, UNIT exudes the
impression that it is floating in space above the
floor without interfering with the space itself;
simply existing in its own place.
The second characteristic is the configuration in
a square grid. The square of the module and the
vertical frame fit with a variety of architectural
structures, like floating floor tiles, with a presence
like a flying carpet.
When the square units of the flying carpet are
connected, one by one, with a variety of colours,
they create interest and union in the surrounding
space. The square grid also makes it possible for
each unit to be arranged variably crosswise and
lengthwise, making UNIT perfect for many different
spaces; big, small, wide, narrow, public and home.
