TETSUORI: Redefining Sustainability in Furniture Design

UDS Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, proudly announces the launch of TETSUORI, a remarkable furniture product line set to debut on August 31, 2026. Spearheaded by the su+ team within UDS, this initiative represents a bold step towards sustainability in design by incorporating iron byproducts into refined household items.

Background of the Project

The su+ team specializes in creating and directing furniture, products, and art under UDS's design division, COMPATH. The team has tackled a multitude of projects across hotels, homes, and commercial spaces, yet faced challenges in harmonizing items sourced from diverse manufacturers. The birth of TETSUORI is a response to this challenge, aiming to deliver a cohesive aesthetic through innovative material usage.

In collaboration with stiiilll, a unit furniture brand from Shinwa Co., which specializes in processing metal sheets, TETSUORI leverages the valuable yet often disregarded byproducts of iron manufacturing processes. The result is an elegant collection meticulously designed to create high-quality spatial experiences. UDS's commitment to continuity in concept and design ensures the products not only serve a purpose but elevate their surroundings.

Unique Features of TETSUORI

The iron byproducts utilized in TETSUORI are marked by their superior quality, which mirrors standard-grade iron. However, due to their non-conformance to specific regulations, these materials lacked prior application opportunities. By adding new value through innovative design and product planning, TETSUORI seeks to repurpose these materials, ensuring they maintain their intrinsic beauty and functionality for society.

Design adjustments are made to ensure that even when multiple pieces are combined, the horizontal and vertical lines align flawlessly. Each item is crafted with precision, emphasizing clean lines and refined appearances, with three unique colors representing the temperatures in the production process: T-1500 (Beige), T-800 (Bordeaux), and T-25 (Black).

• - Memo Tray
• - Tissue Box
• - Drawer A
• - Drawer B
• - Storage Box
• - Desktop Trash Can
• - Shoe Horn
• - Trash Can (Large)

The product dimensions and aesthetics are tailored for both standalone beauty and cohesive integration with other items. These pieces come together effortlessly, creating a sense of unity within any space.

As TETSUORI aims to meet the needs of both the luxury hotel sector and eco-conscious consumers, the products will soon be available for public purchase on the official su+ website: Hello Suplus.

Conclusion

TETSUORI stands as a testament to the innovative capabilities of UDS and its partners, proving that sustainable designs can also be stylish and functional. By harnessing the potential of iron byproducts, this product line not only promotes environmental responsibility but also elevates the standards of interior aesthetics.
