Normally, the thought of constructing furniture fills even the most accomplished craftsmen with dread. The cryptic guides seem to have a desire to mislead, and you always end up with spare nuts and bolts. Making furniture stops being a good way to save money and starts becoming an exercise in damage limitation.
That was all largely true until Japanese furniture designers SOZ thought up their new furniture range, Re:mo. Taking the Japanese term “Sozo” meaning creation, the Osaka based company have brought a new meaning to the phrase “Do It Yourself”. The furniture is constructed by assembling individual shapes into what you’d see lying around the house; a bookshelf, a magazine rack, a storage box or anything else that takes your fancy.
But unlike other DIY furniture, the shape and function of Re:Mo can be changed instantly to suit your mood or desire. You may want a chair, but would also like somewhere to display your creative wares. Why not make a stool and use the spares to make a display case? The transformation is limited only by your creativity. That, and how many pieces you have.
SOZ will open its flagship store this spring in Osaka, Japan, and from March 12 will be featuring in a window display at the Musee des Arts decoratifs in Paris. You can buy Re:mo online and also get hold of SOZ’s carpenter block mini at the Museum of Modern Art Store in New York. Who ever said doing jigsaws was boring? By Matt Hussey
