Humans are changing creatures.
People change over time, such as where they live, their families, and their hobbies.
Especially in recent years, it has become an era of great change for humankind. People who used to work in the office work at home. In such a world, furniture that is premised on change without limiting its use may be necessary.
KUMITAS is furniture that can change with such people. Depending on how you assemble it with a stool at one time and a desk, shelf or bench at another time, the usage is endless. It can also be made compact when not in use or when moving.
In recent years, the world has turned to sustainable thinking. On the other hand, what about furniture? You often see shelves and chairs being put out as garbage in front of a house. Rather, it may be visible to people even in the natural scenery. If you take a closer look at it, most of it can still be used. You can probably imagine that it was turned into "garbage" by moving or remodeling. Is this the end of life as furniture?
With KUMITAS that "changes" together, there is no need to buy new furniture when you want to change your working style or mood. KUMITAS is furniture that can be relaced to find new value.
