New Products from "ICHIRO no IIRO"


The "ICHIRO no IIRO" project was launched by Ichiro, a decorative laminate manufacturer, with the desire to "create new daily necessities." Following the "Cororo Desk/Cororo Stool" released this spring, three new small products are now available: "Cororo Stand," "Dabo Block," and "Cororo Magnet." The design, as with the previous products, was handled by Torafu Architects.
