Torafu Architects: Koloro Imaginé par Torafu Architects, le bureau "Koloro" est un meuble-cellule, un meuble-outil réalisé en contre-plaqué et frêne japonais. Conçu comme un habitacle, il permet de s'isoler ou de s'ouvrir à l'extérieur grâce à de petits panneaux mobiles, fenêtres ou plateaux à déplier au gré des besoins pour y poser une lampe ou une plante. Le bureau "Koloro" s'accompagne d'un petit tabouret coordonné. Sur ce projet, l'agence Torafu Architects précise: "Ichiro-iro is a series of furniture designed for the decorative plywood maker Ichiro. Ichiro creates in-house blends for the paints used in its polyester plywood, demonstrating a consistent dedication to supplying the right color that involves a willingness to custom-tint even single sheets. The concept for the ichiro-iro series is that of 'tools for the real you' – 'iro' being the Esperanto* word for 'tool'. The first items in the series are the koloro-desk and koloro-stool. 'Koloro' is also an Esperanto word, meaning color, and the koloro pieces have been designed to make optimum use of the vibrant polyester decorative plywood at which Ichiro excels. "koloro-desk – a place to 'nest' at ease" The koloro-desk has windows at various locations, opening to give a more open, accessible feel and when closed creating a small private room where no one can disturb you. Lighting and potted plants can be added, and there are windows for displaying the occasional ornament, hooks for bags, and a cord manager allowing PC use. Arrange the koloro-desk to make a study for Dad, a play area for a child, a hobby space or whatever you would like it to be. "koloro-stool - complete with storage capacity" Designed to complement the koloro-desk, the koloro-stool is shaped like a vaulting horse, and under the soft cushioned seat is a box for storing toys and other small miscellaneous items. * Esperanto was devised as a common international language allowing people all over the world to communicate more easily."
