Kadou is a coat stand that evokes the shape of a traditional Japanese vase of flowers. The name, appropriately, means “the art of flowers”. The base of the stand can be illuminated and it can be used as a lamp. Behind this product is the idea of showing Western culture a typical item of Japanese tradition, revived in a modern key by contemporary materials, shapes and colours.
Often, many Japanese items are designed in a spontaneous way and are therefore functional and natural in shape. (Ryosuke Fukusada)
