Story
The rectangle and its feet
Naoto Fukasawa designed Tetrami in 2023. A linear graphic character with a strong functional impact distinguishes these free-standing containers: the rectangle is the star element, and the feet unexpectedly materialize as vertical extensions of the two central partitions.
Made of thin wooden lists
Expert cabinetmakers create the object from extra thin wooden lists, so it is generously sized but not bulky. The grain and texture of ash make it an elegant and refined piece, and a two-tone version combines the two ash tones for the outer and inner surfaces.
