Appreciation towards nendo for providing the following description:

flow

一个可以放置物品的桌子，一个可以成装一些东西的容器。桌子的一部分似乎丢失了以前的构造，融化变成了下面的容器。这些神秘的家具实现了在顶部和内部同时容纳物品的组合形态。

A table to hold something on top and a container to hold something within. Part of the tabletop appears to melt away and form a container below, as if it were completely oblivious to the table’s frame structure. The enigmatic pieces of furniture achieve a fluid fusion of functionality serving to hold something either on top or within.

okome

组合沙发，使用者可以根据他们喜欢的方式来组合座椅，靠背及扶手等。

Unit sofa which users can combine the units such as seats, backrests and armrests in any way they like. 

一共有二十种不同类型的组合单位，座椅，靠背和扶手全部以相同的形状制作以保持视觉的统一性。高靠背可以用作隔音器具。

There are all together twenty different types of units and the seats, backrests and armrests were made in all of the same shapes so as to maintain a sense of visual unity. The high-back backrests can also be used as a partition with sound absorbing qualities.

座椅表面平滑，底部弯曲延伸至座椅底部，以便在公共空间使用时与鞋接触弄脏。通过曲线连接对应的切口，各部分水平垂直组合互锁。有木桌的一边有相似的弯曲弧度具备三种变形，一种是有框的，单脚桌底座在沙发下滑动还有可以通纳电缆和小配件的容器类型，每种形式都是完美匹配的。

The seat surface is flat, but the surface curves gently towards the base, which prevents them from dirtying due to direct contact with shoes when used in public spaces such as lounges and lobbies. Concurrently, by attaching cutouts that correspond to these curves, they can be interlocked with parts such as backseats not only horizontally but also vertically. The wooden side table with similar curvature is available in three variations, ones that have wire-frame legs, one-footed tables where the pedestal slides under the sofa, and a container type that can accommodate cables and small accessories, each were made to match the cutouts perfectly.

米的胚芽经常被剪掉成为椭圆形，所以这组沙发被命名为okome（日文中米的称呼），从外观上看，这组沙发就像是被剪掉了柔软的一部分。

Rice is oval-shaped with a germ which is often removed so a portion of rice has been cut-out. Because of this, the sofa was given the name “okome (= rice in Japanese)” from the similar appearance which looks as though a portion of the soft silhouette has been cut-out.
