Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake has designed a new collection of shelves called SUKOYA for blomus. SUKOYA, the Japanese word for a square, the tool used to mark and reference a 90° angle, was chosen as a tribute to the linear frame design of the shelves. With SUKOYA, the focus is on your decorative and ornamental objects – not the shelf itself. At the same time, SUKOYA offers practical storage space and brings order to your home.
Two versions – for every style of living
SUKOYA is available in two versions. The wooden version is made from an oak frame and oak veneer boards. The metal version is made from powder-coated steel with oak veneer shelves.
Both the wood and metal versions are available in naturally oiled (lively natural) and white oiled (Scandinavian minimalist) wood, which is FSC certified.
Flexible design options
The shelves are available in different sizes for both versions and can be arranged in any combination and position. This allows you to create a shelf that suits you perfectly.
The shelves are designed so that they can be moved freely on the fixed horizontal shelf frame.
Easy assembly and removable construction
SUKOYA is simple and easy to assemble by simply attaching the horizontal and vertical parts to each other. The shelves can then be added as required.

About
Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake (b. 1973) graduated from Tama Art University in Tokyo with a specialization in design. He then began his career as a product designer in Great Britain before returning to Japan in 1999.
In 2005, he founded his own design studio. Today, Miyake Design is synonymous with clear and functional product design, from lounge chairs to suitcases, always with the discerning consumer in mind. Miyake favors simplicity and straightforwardness in his designs, and believes that every object has its own form.
This form is not limited to its physical presence, but also includes the aura or atmosphere that surrounds the object and its effect on those who use it.
Kazushige Miyake has received a number of prestigious design awards, including the iF Design Award, the Red Dot Design Award and the Good Design Award. Today, he is a member of the evaluation committees for both the Good Design Award and the iF Design Award.
Our wooden items are carefully crafted for indoor use and deserve to be protected
from extreme temperatures and moisture. Avoid potential damage by wiping
up spillages immediately to prevent warping or staining. For optimum care and
a particularly long service life, we recommend the use of polishes or oils specifically
formulated for the different types of wood. To support the longevity of our
wooden products, they should be wiped regularly with a soft cloth moistened with
lukewarm water.
