Beside

Beside the rotatable lampshade. From reading lamp to night light.
Beside, next to the bed, next to the armchair, next to the sofa. The place for keeping intimate things. The place to put your glasses, book or tumbler.
A look at the illuminated stage of your private possessions. The gleam of the wooden skin separates the inner from the outside world – just like the curtain in the window.

Toshiyuki Kita (Chairman of the IFDA Selection Committee):
It is rare work up to this day that is bold and has high creativity as the light which is combined with the mini table. The difference between lighting-up and lighting-out is remarkable. When we light it up, the internal shape of the work, which is cut, appears in front of our eyes. It is romantic light. The function is considered substantially, and it is nice and unique.
