KICK

口笛を吹くと走ってきてくれそうなテーブル。そんな思いでデザインした。WINKチェア－用にと考えたもので、イタリア・カッシーナ社の開発室でアイデアを考え、その場で原寸大図をフリーハンドで引き、即試作に入った思い出のテーブル。発表と同時にMOMAのコレクションに選定された。天板は上下したり、使う時の状況に応じて回転したり、自在に動かすことができる。無機質な素材の集合体から、形と機能によって表情が生まれた。

A table designed to seem as if it might come running up, whistling. "KICK" was made to go along with the "WINK" chair and is a full of memories for Kita, who came up with the idea at Italian company Cassina's Development Department and then quickly constructed a prototype based on the rough freehand design he made there. When "KICK" was released, it was chosen for the MOMA collection. The tabletop can be raised and lowered, as well as rotated and freely moved according to use. Expression is born from the assembly of inorganic materials, shape, and function.
