Seating is the most utilized place in everyone’s house, be it entertaining guests, hosting get together for friends and family members or just sitting and relaxing. Modern sofa should be comfortable and stylish, and designers know that very well. The Fruit Bowl collection was designed by Hiroomi Tahara (currently living in Milan) for Japanese manufacturing company Yamakawa Rattan.
The playful set reminded the creator of random fruits “Please enjoy placingvarious combinations and arrangements of cushions on this sofa as you do with a fruit bowl“-asserted Tahara.
The items were all handmade using rattan and were particularly created for outdoor decors. However, within the right context, we believe the collection can also be integrated in living rooms, office buildings and so on. We particularly like the accompanying low table and poufs with multicolored cushions, as they bring some extra vitality to the design.
Hiroomi Tahara learned design disciplines through self-thought and whilst working for various services such as an interior shop in Tokyo, he has produced a number of his own design works. When designing he always keeps “the relationship between person and object” in mind and he is strongly interested in “creating certain affections between users and objects”. This is due to his strong belief in its power of surpassing the restriction of other elements such as convenience, cost or durability at times.
