Made from wood left over from manufacturing processes, 'Tsunagu' is the latest in a series of furniture from the 'Mate-Re-Inno' line, (short for Material Re-Innovation)
The brains behind this interlocked table design are Label Creators; a company that believes in traditional Japanese craftsmanship and materials, but also acknowledges the waste which is generated throughout the design process and addresses it - many of their lines attempt to recycle these left over bits.
M.E. likes both the table and the ethos behind it.
All too rarely do designers admit to the consumption the business of making things provokes, and to address it via products which are covetable in themselves is both clever and resourceful.
