Kintoun Kits

This kit is designed for children to create unique furniture by spraying urethane foam—commonly used as building insulation—onto a framework. By combining parts like toy blocks and adding a soft layer of foam, they can create various pieces of furniture with different functions and characteristics. The pieces are easily molded by spraying, allowing for simple repairs or modifications if they become broken or dirty. No complex design skills are needed. This project offers children a chance to ignite their interest in furniture and design while deepening their understanding of making things.

Focusing on the characteristics and properties of materials, he conducts research on new ways to utilize them in product design. He pursues not only functionality, but also designs that nurture emotion and sensitivity, aiming to create works that engage the five senses.
