In 1772, in the “Essay on the Three-Body Problem,” Joseph Louis Lagrange indicated the Lagrangian Point, a point exists in the space between the revolving two bodies that gravity and centrifugal force are balanced. A material put on this point keeps balancing and revolving without changing a relative position.

A calm stability is found in throughout the various forces crossing.

Yet, not only in the astronomic subjects, it is able to be found in places where close to us.

The collection of, “Lagrangian Point” is the works produced by finding the equilibrium hidden behind the apparently unstable forces and structures.
　

■TRAME, side table + shelf

　
DESIGN : Kengo BABATA + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.490 x D.380 x H.515
MATERIAL : WHITE ASH
　

　
Two trays are inserted into two frames in a right angle to make them a simple standing structure as a table. The frames are stabilized by applying weight to the trays. When this product is dismantled, each tray is settled in each frame to become one panel which is very compact.
　

■TRICK, low table

　
DESIGN : Satoshi NOBEKAWA + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.530 x D.530 x H.420
MATERIAL : BIRCH, WHITE ASH
　

　
Although “TRICK” is appeared to be an ordinary table, it has a magic mechanism. When the table top is pulled, it is to be divided into right and left parts. Then each of these parts is divided into two more parts. These four parts which are assembled using dovetail joint technique support each other and stand as an independent structure.
　

　

　

　

　
　

■MITER, sofa table

　
DESIGN : Nobuaki TAKAHASHI + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.505 x D.350 x H.400
MATERIAL : ALUMINUM, GLASS
　

　
By jointing aluminum L bars in the simple yet effective way, a light and strong frame is created. The frame which is considered as a module is accumulated into a three dimensional structure which has a light silhouette like a building construction. This buildingscape like structure is seen through the glass table top. The package of this product is seen through the glass table top.

■CATHEDRAL, sofa table

　
DESIGN : Nobu MIAKE + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.400 x D.400 x H.400
MATERIAL : BEECH, GLASS
　

　　
“CATHEDRAL” is a low table inspired by Gothic architectures. It consists of molded plywood and two types of metal fitting. Although the parts themselves have only limited strength, once they are assembled into a complete structure, all the force applying onto the structure will be redirected towards the center, and hence gives it stability and strength.
　

■CORKER, stool

　
DESIGN : Akinori TAGASHIRA + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.380 x D.390 x H.360
MATERIAL : CORK, BIRCH
　

　
In a stool called “CORKER”, the elasticity which cork has is utilized in its structure. This product can be assembled very easily. Legs which are hooked on a ring are to be fixed only by pushing a cork part like a wine bottle cork, and then they become an independent structure. Since it is more tightly closed when load is applied, the act of sitting down itself which strengthens the stool becomes a design element.
　

　

　

■SEWING, stool

　
DESIGN : Ryo MITAO+ DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.370 x D.320 x H.370
MATERIAL : BIRCH, NYLON ROPE
　

　
Legs are jointed to a seat part and they are to be firmly fixed to give required intensity using a piece of string. The string which unites the legs and the seat part like a sewing thread is also accent feature while being the important part of the structure.
　

　

　

■CLYTIE, pouf

　
DESIGN : Saki KITAI + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.420 x D.420 x H.250
MATERIAL : WOOL
　

　
“CLYTIE” is the name of the fairy of the water in Greek mythology who became a flower. This blanket keeps you warm when you put it on your lap or insert your legs in it. If it rolls up, it becomes pouf like a large flower. The material of this blanket could be strengthened by knitting the wool yarn tightly without using any core material and stuffing as such.
　

　

　

　

■PROP, shelf

　
DESIGN : Hiroyuki IKEUCHI + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.520 x D.270 x H.1,400
MATERIAL : BIRCH
　

　
“PROP” is a shelf stand which has high yet stable structure having a casual silhouette. Two bars and a shelf part are jointed to create a solid triangular structure on the both sides of each shelf. All the parts are supported each other from the three different directions like conflict elements being reconciled. When load is applied, the power is concentrated in the joint area, which increases its stability.
　

　

　

■JUTTE, shelf

　
DESIGN : Masashi MOTOZUTSUMI + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.600 x D.300 x H.1160
MATERIAL : BIRCH
　

　
“JUTTE” is a shelf stand which can be assembled easily without using any screws/nails. To assemble it, each joint part is slipped into the other one. You can decide how many layers of the shelf you wish to add. When the product dismantled, all the parts are smaller than the shelf board size so that they can be stored in a compact package.
　

　

　
　

■SLASH, coat stand

　
DESIGN : Kohdai IWAMOTO + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.300 x D.300 x H.1610
MATERIAL : WHITE BIRCH, STEEL
　

　
“SLASH” is the coat stand which represents the moment that a bamboo is being cut off with a sword and being slipping down. A garment hanging feature is created by cutting the stick diagonally and shifting them when they are jointed back together.
　

　

　　

■Slide Me, coat stand

　
DESIGN : Yuki MATSUMOTO + DESIGN SOIL
SIZE : W.435 x D.320 x H.1710
MATERIAL : WHITE ASH / BIRCH
　

　
This is a knockdown coat stand which consists of small parts assembled by dovetail joint technique. By assembling the identical parts one by one, the coat stand is to be extended upwards like a tree.
