	*INORI WOOD*	Exhibited Milan Salone 2009

Inori in Japanese signifies 'pray', and thus the key element of this library is the vertical shape of our hands - when you receive, give and thank. These hands act like glass containers, to sustain and protect our books and our possessions, it is a intimately 'sacred' personal space.
The same person can create different spaces by dynamically altering the compositions of the elements.
The versatility and assembly possibilities allow Inori to be utilized as a show-case, display-case, and TV-unit. Available also in free-standing and wall unit versions.

「祈り」の時に合わせた両手のように、緩やかに曲げたガラスの仕切り支柱によって構成されるガラスモジュール式本棚。ガラスの仕切り支柱は位置や角度を自由に変えられる。一見ガラスだけの構造で成立しているような緊張感がある。様々なモジュールを組み合わせることでショーケース、ディスプレイケース、TV台としても利用できる。
