'ELMAR' was designed with the aim of redefining workplace furniture not merely as tools for tasks, but as 'furniture' that enriches everyday working life. Its simple and primitive composition combining molded plywood, resin, steel, and solid wood achieves both functionality and the natural warmth inherent in the materials. Because it combines simplicity with high functionality, it harmonizes with various office spaces that flexibly utilize ICT, creating a new work style.
