KOBO Low Sofa
by Ishinomaki
A redesign of the KOBO SOFA, which was originally made for a shared office space in Ishinomaki after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The redesign takes into account more casual uses, such as the desire to sprawl out or lean back. Its low proportions are suitable for a variety of spaces.
震災後、石巻のシェアオフィス用に設計したソファを「座る、寝そべる、寄りかかる」ことを考えてリデザインしました。よりカジュアルな使い方を提案した家具で、低いプロポーションは空間にもフィットします。

KEIJI ASHIZAWA
Keiji Ashizawa (b. 1973) lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from Yokohama University School of Architecture in 1995, Ashizawa spent the first ten years of his career working as both an architect and steel fabricator. The unique skills and experience gained throughout these early years, including a valued understanding of metals, continue to influence his approach to design. Keiji Ashizawa presents work of ‘honest’ design – simple yet refined, thoughtful, and of a light manner – derived naturally through the process of attempting to maximise the potential of each material and its function. He excels in applying these ideas to projects of various scales, from furniture and lighting design to architecture and exhibition design. His furniture and lighting have been exhibited internationally since 2001. In 2011, Ashizawa was awarded a ‘Special Award’ by the Japan Institute of Design for his principal participation in the inception of Ishinomaki Laboratory – a DIY furniture workshop established in Ishinomaki city, Japan, after it was devastated by the tsunami triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
