“Kumiko” is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that assembles geometric wooden patterns without nails. Mortises and tenons are cut into thinly split wood and slotted together to create intricate designs, which have long been cherished in decorative wooden joinery.

These three works utilize the traditional "Kumiko" technique, typically used for flat decorative designs, and apply it to create three-dimensional assemblies. Focusing on the structural stability of the equilateral triangle, the fundamental building block of Kumiko woodworking, the design evolves into a three-dimensional piece of furniture made using only small cross-sections of wood.

Three pieces of furniture—partition, console table, and low table—were designed based on this concept. All pieces are made from Japanese cypress. The console table is finished with black staining, while the low table is finished with white staining.
