PLAYGROUND SOFA

From eilersen, Denmark's iconic sofa brand celebrating its 130th anniversary, comes the PLAYGROUND SOFA. The defining feature of the PLAYGROUND is undoubtedly its flat daybed design, which has neither a backrest nor armrests. The backform cushion, which serves as the backrest, can be freely moved to allow seating from any direction, accommodating various layouts. Sofas from eilersen are renowned for their comfort, the result of 130 years of pursuing seating comfort. Every model is designed to remain comfortable even after sitting for three to four hours, achieved through the use of high-quality materials. The PLAYGROUND is designed with a slightly firmer seating feel than other models, enabling it to be used as a bed.

ing LIFE

The functionality of a gently swaying seat that naturally aligns your core.
The gentle form and material feel that harmonize with your living space.
This working chair lets you enjoy concentration, relaxation, and mealtimes. A gliding mechanism allows the seat to move freely 360o, like sitting on a balance ball, releasing the load on your upper body when seated. Whether leaning forward for PC work or leaning back to brainstorm ideas, simply sitting naturally adjusts you to a comfortable working posture.

Sokuryo Yacho

Sokuryo Yacho was launched in 1959 especially for the surveyors and civil engineers, and that marks its 66th anniversary this year.
Its significant charms are a slim and compact size just fit to the chest pocket on a working uniform, and its hard cover which enables a standing writing outdoors. Those features were highly accepted by construction industry. And then Sokuryo Yacho became a standard item and also supported the construction site from shadows during the period of the Japanese high economic growth in the late 1950s till early 1970s.
For more than 60 years, Sokuryo Yacho, enthusiastically favored by on-site professionals and field workers, has been attracting more and more consumers with non-survey/construction purposes such as fieldworks of excavations and observation outdoors, Mobile work outside, and even private uses like travel journals or simple memorandums in everyday life.
It's got a great size to carry, strong and tough hardness to survive outdoor conditions, and timeless "anonymous design."
That Yacho leads you to a widening of your field of the work and interests.
