[ スミバコ / sumi bako ]
box / second prize of Toyama design competition 2008
photo: Takumi Ota
Manufacturer: IOTC
Material: Made of the nonwoven fabrics which enclosed charcoal.
Just a sack and two handfuls of charcoal.
That’s all it is.
It doesn’t look very stable, but somehow it stands by itself.
You will also find it surprisingly useful.
You can place it anywhere and put anything in it.
(It will remove odours and moisture too!)
In time, you may become fond of its peculiar shape.
