How COM-PLATES was born
During the Showa era, a tatami desk was found in the living room of every household.
Times have changed, and the tatami culture has disappeared, with people now living in chairs as their main lifestyle.
The desk that had been placed in the center of the room was now considered a nuisance,
The reality is that it has been discarded.

When you no longer need it, throw it away.
Hoping to stop such selfish human behavior even a little,
