Stool or Side Table

Darkside

The whole idea was taken from the album's cover "Dark side of the moon" of the band Pink Floyd. Using stainless steel and acrylic, the Darkside is a stool or side table that makes a good impression in your living room or even in your bedroom. Every aspect of the design was a part of the album cover. The triangle base is the prism. The colors of the prism are the enforcement that connects the two triangles bases. The transparency of the prism is the seat.

CARVED 2

Naoki Terada’s stunning new clock designs are Carved. Subtle, yet noticeable, the numbers on the clocks are carved indents cut so close to the edge of the faces that the top of them are chopped off. The shadows of the carved-out letters bring a 3-dimensional impression to the clock face, with its appearance changing in accordance with lights located in its immediate area. The idea was inspired by materials used for interior decoration and technical conversion. On the updated design, the letters carved into the clock face are only 2mm in width. The smart fonts give a sharp and clean impression.
