  • “引き算”でつくる環境整備用品

    Environmental maintenance equipment created through "Subtraction"

    “M Series”は、環境用品メーカーのミヅシマ工業と共に開発したプロダクトシリーズです。同社は、主に公共空間向けに、くず入れや灰皿、傘立てなどの備品類を手掛けており、創業86年を迎えるこのカテゴリのパイオニア企業です。環境用品は公共空間にとって機能的には「なくてはならないモノ」である一方で、空間の設計者にとっては、家具や雑貨のように能動的に選択するモノではなく、むしろ空間の邪魔をしないものを選ぶことの方が多くあります。そうしたニーズを汲み取り、感度の高い環境づくりのプロにこそ選んでもらえるよう、長年培ってきた製品の機能性・堅牢性は継承しつつも、公共空間において主張しすぎないミニマルな佇まいの製品群を設計しました。

    "M Series" is a product line developed in collaboration with MIZUSHIMA an environmental goods manufacturer. The company primarily deals with fixtures such as waste receptacles, ashtrays, and umbrella stands for public spaces, marking its 86th year as a pioneering enterprise in this category. While environmental goods are functionally essential for public spaces, they are not actively chosen by space designers like furniture or accessories; instead, designers often opt for items that do not interfere with the space. Addressing such needs, the product line embodies a minimalist aesthetic that doesn't overpower public spaces while maintaining the functionality and durability cultivated over the years. It aims to appeal to sensitive professionals engaged in creating environmentally responsive spaces.
