“Tutti / CONCERTO FOR FURNITURE – to musical symbols-” is the four furniture which made real music code as a motif. The shape and function of each work are related to the shape of the musical symbol of the motif, its meaning and playing method. (“Tutti” means “ensemble” in Italian, and Antonym for “solo”.)

Materials and Manufacturing Methods: Larch plywood is a cheap building material, which is originally not suitable for furniture because there are many knots. By cutting this larch plywood into a desired shape and making it into a laminated structure, it realized the production of furniture, which is much cheaper than the molded plywood, while maintaining the curved surface and strength like bending wood. Also, by alternately combining the edges of the material like a seam, it is possible to design a large size that exceeds the limit standard of larch trees.
