Text by Ryuji Nakamura and Associates: This is an optician in a shopping mall. There are few realities (contexts) that can be depended on in a shopping mall that is highly fictional. The concrete floor was the only reality I could depend on, so I decided to build up the reality from there.

I chose standard wooden board. The display stand is made of stacking it on the unfinished floor. Although it does not require complicated processing such as when making ordinary furniture, if you just stack it up, it will be a display stand that is heavy and wastes material considering its area. Therefore, the even-numbered plates from the bottom are shifted to increase the exhibition area. 

The display stand, with its corner and side numbers increased by shifting, makes the person who chooses the glasses face various directions, making it difficult for the person on the other side to gaze. As a whole, it is the space where people easily stop by and easily take glasses because the way of shifting is slightly different for each table.
