Lloyd and I were happy to see Akemi Tanaka and her new work at ICFF. After designing some really clever transformer furniture in 2006, she's re-imagining how furniture and space is used, maximizing its function by adding some cool design touches to everyday objects like credenzas and occasional tables.
In the video after the jump, she explains how she conceived some interesting new options and great ideas to better use space in furniture, and how she incorporates sustainability into her beautiful modern work. ::ICFF 2008 and ::Akemi Tanaka
