A cute "stacking box" inspired by a market wooden crate. With endless combinations for arranging and storing, the possibilities are limitless. The "stacking box" is made from domestically sourced camphor wood, ensuring safety and peace of mind. Camphor wood has a distinctive texture and is known for its insect-repellent properties, with about 80% of it growing in Kyushu. It has been used historically as a source of camphor, which has repellent effects. Additionally, its unique scent and components promote blood circulation, have analgesic effects, and provide a refreshing sensation, making it suitable for use in topical medications. The materials, aged between 50 to 100 years, are naturally and artificially dried, and the wood's texture is finished to respect its varied colors, allowing you to enjoy its natural feel. The "stacking box" is produced in a factory that has obtained domestic certification marks. A chic and modern design of the stacking box, called stacking box 2, which incorporates some steel components, is also available for sale. Note: The "2" in stacking box 2 is officially represented in Roman numerals.

We will consider the spatial design of both open and closed areas together with our customers based on a zoning plan, and propose valuable products in terms of functionality and design. Library bookshelves and furniture are important elements of interior design, and we can accommodate designs and colors that match the spatial creation. We have a consistent system from zoning flow planning to furniture design, production, construction, and maintenance. 〇 Needs for library bookshelves and reading furniture 1. Functional ease of use 2. Robustness, durability, and safety 3. Design harmony as an interior space and regional characteristics 4. Consideration for the environment In addition, we will assist in creating spaces that support library functions and services for "learning, researching, and knowing," "activating, expressing, and editing," and "interacting, realizing, and creating."

This is a bookshelf that absorbs seismic vibrations (in a seismic isolation state) by installing a seismic isolation unit in its structure, making it difficult for the vibrations to be transmitted to the main body of the bookshelf. The greatest feature of the seismic isolation bookshelf is that it prevents books from falling, ensuring the safety of people while also securing evacuation routes. There have been reports of situations where, even if the bookshelf does not collapse due to seismic shaking, books scatter throughout the aisle between bookshelves, leaving no space to step. ● This bookshelf is optimal when considering earthquake measures for bookshelves during the construction or renovation of libraries. ● It has a proven track record and has received high trust from library personnel and design offices. ● For other functions and details, please contact us.

In proposing the display case, we will base our design policy on the following principles. 【Miseru】Presentation Aesthetic Appeal: We recommend using high-transparency glass to ensure comfortable viewing. Additionally, by treating the glass surface, we can reduce reflections and achieve even greater comfort. Theatricality: If lighting is to be installed, we recommend high color-rendering LED lights. By adding color adjustment and dimming devices, a wide range of lighting effects can be achieved. 【Mamoru】Disaster Prevention and Internal Environment Safety: By applying a film to the glass, we can prevent shards from scattering in the event of breakage. Furthermore, by combining this with seismic isolation devices, we can prepare for earthquakes. Air Tightness: If you want to manage the humidity environment inside the installation room separately from that inside the case, we recommend using an airtight case. 【Tsukau】Usability Operability: We have adopted doors that can be opened and closed with light operation. We generally recommend a mechanism that separates the door for taking artworks in and out from the door for replacing humidity control agents and maintaining lighting. *An airtight case is one with high air tightness. Since trace amounts of chemicals may be emitted from the materials used inside the case, please ensure regular door openings for ventilation.

• Humidity control materials

Japan, with its four seasons, is characterized by high temperatures and humidity compared to other countries, leading to significant changes in temperature and humidity throughout the year. Particularly from May to October, it enters a risk zone for biological degradation. This climate, rich in variation, also affects the indoor environments where cultural properties are preserved. Additionally, due to the high airtightness of modern buildings, there are concerns about the impact of various pollutants that can develop indoors. Since many of Japan's cultural properties are made of paper and wood, they inherently possess conditions that make them susceptible to degradation from various factors. To protect cultural properties, Kongō collaborates with customers to control risks and proposes environmental improvements that consider IPM (Integrated Pest Management).

The collection of items housed in cultural facilities is truly diverse. Appropriate equipment is necessary for their preservation, tailored to each item's size and shape. Utilizing years of experience and knowledge, we propose the storage shelves envisioned by Kongō. ■Storage Shelves Storage shelves are located closest to the stored materials, managing five safety quality items. To provide the optimal preservation environment, we classify storage shelves into three main categories and make proposals based on their characteristics. 【Safety Quality Items】 1. No structural issues 2. Minimal generation of outgassing (pollutant gases from cultural properties) 3. Made from materials free of insect and fungal damage 4. Easy to maintain and manage on a daily basis 5. Does not obstruct airflow or affect the surrounding environment 【Classification】 Steel: Rigid, low cost, minimal outgassing, easy to transfer temperature Wood: Flexible, traditional, higher outgassing, insect and fungal damage → Steel + Wood ■Painting Racks For the storage of valuable paintings, we achieve compact storage through two methods: movable shelves and hanging types. ●For other functions and details, please contact us.
