Electric Bike

Fujita Urban

Fujita Urban is an electric bicycle designed for daily rides in the city. The frame is made of aluminium 6061, which keeps the bicycle light and easy to handle in traffic. A lithium battery is fully integrated inside the central tube, so the bicycle looks like a traditional model and the battery is better protected against theft. Pedal assistance supports the rider, while a belt drive replaces the usual chain to reduce maintenance and noise. Large wheels and a linear frame complete the form. Charging takes a few hours.

Side Table

Tai

Tai is a side table made from retired substation metal sheets. The design extends the service life of discarded materials and reduces waste. Production requires only laser cutting and bending, so costly molds are not needed. The flat-packed parts are assembled by the user, which shortens production time. The exterior lines recall the image of hands folded in prayer, and the lower structure is inspired by the butterfly seat. A central opening holds an open book. The table measures 450 by 350 by 550 millimeters.

Air Kiss

Air Kiss is designed to keep coffee beans fresh for longer. Its curved lid goes into the canister to touch the beans, squeezing out excess air and reducing the contact with oxygen, preserving the taste and aroma of the coffee beans. The lid also features a convex dome that can be easily lifted with a finger tip in one second. Air Kiss also caters to personal preferences by allowing users to insert the coffee label, or write user's secret score on the soft-touch base which can be easily erased with an eraser. No more waste to our environment.

Dudo

Dudo is a modular synthesizer toy designed for children aged four to twelve. Dudo joins sound and light effects so that basic music theory can be learned through play. Five simple modules cover sequencing, wave change, filtering, rhythm and amplification, and nine connection methods allow expanded functions and multiplayer use. The difficulty level can be raised as children grow older. Capacitive sensing triggers drum sounds when the drum module is tapped. Non-toxic plastic is used, and the size follows the ergonomics of children.

Fuma Fujiwara

Stool

Monday, 14 October 2024

Layer

The project started with making furniture out of small-diameter trees and scrap wood. Wood in Okinawa is felled due to natural disasters and road expansion. However, in recent years, road expansion has decreased due to environmental considerations, so wood is also shrinking. To continue making Okinawa furniture, it was necessary to use small materials. Therefore, the Layer stool were created by combining various types of wood. It is made from upcycled waste. This design proposes a new value by reconstructing the waste material from Okinawan wood into blocks.
