Living with Birds

The relationship between natural products and human-made artifacts is fascinating. People living in urban areas rely heavily on modern objects. At the same time, to relax, they seek out natural environments and elements, which may reflect an inherent human tendency as a social species.

As human society expands, our living spaces gradually encroach on the habitats of natural wildlife, leading to an increasing number of conflicts between humans and animals. Humans have become less tolerant of other species entering their domains, and even contact between people has diminished. Recently, there has been a growing indifference towards urban public spaces.Therefore, this design aims to use components that are not necessary for making MARUTA, creating a space where birds and humans can coexist harmoniously. In this way, we strive to achieve circular design (sustainability) and revitalize urban areas through the design of urban furniture.
