Tuesday, 18 March 2025

A6Pro Series

A6Pro Series is a large-screen television designed for home viewing. The display uses miniLED backlight technology and supports 8K resolution, with screen brightness reaching 1000 nits. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, finished by drawing, anodizing and highlight cutting. The back is formed from brushed aluminum plates, combined with a dark blue aluminum strip and a dark gun-color aluminum base that keeps the television stable. A 3D camera rises for use and hides when not in use, which protects privacy. The minimalist form supports immersive viewing.

Supernumerary Robotic Limb System

Jizai Arms

Jizai Arms is a supernumerary robotic limb system worn on the body. The system consists of a wearable base unit with six terminals and detachable robotic arms, each with five degrees of freedom. The arms can be attached and removed quickly, so wearers can exchange arms with one another. Exterior parts are produced by three-dimensional printing, which allows complex shapes and reduces weight. The arms are operated through a half scale model moved by hand, and the posture of the model is applied directly to the robotic arms.

Mass Series Sumi Limited

Mass Series Sumi Limited is a furniture collection that includes a dining chair, a lounge chair, a coffee table, two stools and a coat hanger. Each piece combines a steel frame with generously planed cedar taken from old trees. The cedar is charred by a traditional method that improves durability and brings out defined grains, creating a glossy black surface with a rare texture. The dark finish refers to Noyaki, the grassland burning of the Aso area, where people and nature live together. The series is limited to 25 units per year.

Toddler Carrier

Lux101

Lux101 is a side hip seat baby carrier that holds a child sideways at the hip. The shoulder pad is shaped to spread the load over one shoulder and to reduce shoulder pain. The seat holds the legs in an open position that helps prevent hip dysplasia and lowers pressure on the thighs. The seat folds away when not in use and unfolds to seat the child, with a back pad for support. Soft polyester webbing allows quick length adjustment. Lux101 suits children from five months to five years and up to twenty kilograms.

Moccle

Moccle is focused on the earthquake resistance of traditional Japanese wooden houses and used wood as the main material. A hybrid material combining wood and carbon fibre is used to balance flexibility and strength. By minimising functions and developing comfort and fun rather than speed, Moccle is not only a tool for mobility, but also a part of the interior that can be displayed in the living room.

Whaletone Grand Hybrid Piano

Whaletone Grand Hybrid is a hybrid grand piano made for stage and home use. The instrument is a smaller version of the Royal model, so it needs less space and is easier to transport, while its acoustic qualities remain unchanged. The character, proportions and slender line of the larger model are retained. A new play mechanism joins a classical hammer action with digital sound technology, so the touch stays close to that of an acoustic piano. A Moving Keys function plays back recorded music with visible key movement.
