Haori Hakama and Yukuta by NOI

DMY Berlin 2010: at DMY Berlin this week Berlin designers NOI present their first collection of furniture, comprising simple wooden trestles and sewn Tyvek pockets.

The series of temporary clothing storage is inspired by the appearance of Japanese kimonos when presented on a kimono rack and the storage bags found in their sleeves.

The trestles are available in oak, ash or walnut and can be self assembled.

DMY Berlin continues until 13 June.

Here is more information from NOI:


Haori

The traditional Kimono is characterised by its long sleeve bags – these are a form of sack used as (secret) storage for personal utensils.

This expressive image of the Kimono, which is often presented on a typical Kimono rack was one of the starting points of our creative work.

The series of spatially imposing objects serve for temporary storage and are composed of a minimal amount of materials.

The feathery flat bag system is made from paper-like Tyvek, which is layered, folded and sewed together to gain volume when filled.

The minimal wooden structure consists of a simple plug connection and can be assembled by the user on-site.

Hakama

Hakama is the smallest piece of the series. It serves as a neat clothes rack and is especially dedicated to those who use to have a mountain of worn but not dirty clothes on the floor. Hakama is made of oak tree, but also available in ash and walnut.

Yukata

Yukata is a coat rack with some additional space for accessories, underclothing or shoes. Clothes are protected and hidden behind the bag system made from Tyvek. Yukata's structure is made from ash tree but also available in oak and walnut.
