滋賀・米原の地から、伝統を継承しつつ世界に通じる新たなデザインを発信したいとの思いから、
東京から米原へ移住した牛島隆敬建築設計事務所とコラボして制作しました。
脚の部分には、釘を使わずに仕上げる「組子」の技法を取り入れて、デザイン性と強度を両立。
より美しく見えるよう木材の選定からこだわりました。
笹木木工が持つ緻密な組子細工の伝統技術と木製建具工事で培ってきた高度な木工技術が生きています。

This bench was created through a collaboration with Ushijima Architects, who moved from Tokyo to Maibara, as an expression of a new and universally accessible design which still preserves tradition.
The legs are made using Kumiko woodworking techniques which provide strength and an aesthetic design without the use nails. Particular attention was paid to the selection of wood to make the bench even more beautiful.
SASAKI MOCCOW's meticulous and traditional Kumiko craftsmanship, combined with sophisticated woodworking skill cultivated through experience with wooden fittings, is on full display.
