The artwork was done for the Kokuyo Design Award Competition, so Tsujimoto wanted to explore the way that books can be adjusted beyond their original uses, and thus put together a more 3D experience. The pieces of art come in a few different colors, including green, yellow, red and blue. Furniture items represented also vary, with a chair symbolized in one book and tables and beds in the other. No matter what type of household item Mariko Tsujimoto tries to demonstrate, she always shows off a playful aesthetic with her work. Considering this collection is made from books with a pop-up look, it makes sense to embody a more youthful vibe considering those are the types of people that normally use these items.
