2022 Product Design Winning Projects
GOLD WINNING PROJECT from Japan
DESIGNER’S ACRYL PARTITION
“Collaboration with fRAum®︎” KUMONO DESIGN INC. × SUMIKA ACRYL CO., LTD. fRAum®︎（KAZUKI KUMONO × YOKO
Due to issues with the functionality and design of existing acrylic partitions during the COVID-19 pandemic, KUMONO DESIGN INC. × SUMIKA ACRYL Co., Ltd. redesigned them with an entirely brand-new concept. The redesigned partitions prevent COVID-19 from spreading while blending well with the interior of design offices, stylish showrooms, trendy bars, and fine dining restaurants.
We concluded that "transparency" can be harmonized with luxury stores, Japanese-style rooms, and all landscapes after considering various colors and materials.
A transparent panel supported by a transparent pedestal at one point in the center is the ultimate expression of transparency. The panel appears to float by 3 cm by floating it by 3 cm. Moreover, the voice is easy to hear and layoutoptions are flexible.
