One day, I was staring at the ocean. Listening to the sound of waves, it occurred to me that I want to sit on waves.

This product was created from such a childlike idea.

People have come to sit on flat surfaces without realizing. But their favorite places aren't always flat.



It is very pleasant to sit on more natural and beautiful curves.

The way these beautiful curves gently sway is like waves in the ocean.

You can sit freely according to your mood and preference of the day.



This product, like everything in nature, has no front, no flat surface.

By utilizing 3D printing technology, we aimed to create a new existence that is not artificial furniture that already exists in the world, but rather as if it were one with nature.

It is not just a stool with a function to sit on, but it sways like waves and can be enjoyed as a work of art when you stand up from your stool.

This stool has an organic, three-dimensional curved shape. And this presents a new potential to the behavior of people sitting on something.



Considering the environment, we use Bio-based Engineering Plastic whose main raw material is plant-derived isosorbide, which has excellent durability, optical properties, and light resistance.



This product was created by breaking away from "manufacturing with a 3D printer as a replacement for an existing chair" and exploring the new appeal created by the new manufacturing method of the 3D printer.
