I have always thought that furniture has a sculptural element.

For example, in the case of a chair, comfort, durability, lightness, storage efficiency, etc. are often called functions, 

but I believe that a sculptural presence is also included in the function of a tool.

While maintaining the expression of a chair, it is a tool that can have an expression that inspires the perception of presence, like a sculpture.

I think that the dimensions, spatiality, and embodiment of furniture are the main reasons for this.

ASoAC is a chair that is far more on the sculptural side than the furniture side.　(ASoAC comes from "a sculpture or a chair")

The shape and dimensions of the chair are determined by testing to what degree it is a good balance, rather than swinging out.

A chair will be comfortable if the dimensions are kept. We explored the shape based on this principle.

It was a very interesting exploration, and the results revealed new possibilities as a tool.

This chair is beautiful as a stand-alone piece, but it is also beautiful when a person sits on it.
