I’m Very excited to present you with the Zaishu by designers Matthew Butler and Helen Punton. The Zaishu isn’t just a stool or piece of furniture, behind it’s lovingly painted slot together sides is an underlying philosophy. The Zaishu represents and reinforces a social understanding and awareness of cultures, how? well it’s designers have travelled the world and have approached over a thousand different people, to hand paint their design.. keeping the ever changing panels fresh and unique. Supplying buyers with their own individualized design.
The fundamentals principles for their design is simple,
“Creativity, participation, responsibility (environment and society) and evolution.”
So, What is a Zaishu?
The Zaishu was designed from the ground up to be a product that responsibly addressed environmental issues whilst encouraging social interaction and creates awareness of other cultures.
This is achieved by using plantation grown pine, water based inks and varnish and the way it flat packs for distribution. We host socially interactive painting workshops around the world to unite creative people and to exchange and evolve ideas.
The name Zaishu actually comes from a mistake in translation. What was meant to be Zaisu a name for a traditional Japanese seat, but an accidental ‘h’ was added. However, this says Butler, “sets a good tone for the organic way we run the company – relying on feeling and instinct rather than what is technically correct.”
The core of Zaishus success revolves around the very fact that it is a collaborative project, rather than a designed product.
Matthew and Helen have worked with over 1000 different people over the last 4 years from many different countries and cultures to create the artwork that adorn the Zaishus slot together sides.
“We find that collaboration helps us to grow ideas and expand possibilities rather than thinking my idea is better than someone elses or that I can do everything.”
Hand painted Zaishus are created by artists as diverse as stencil artists from Melbourne, tribal artists from India and Fiji and street poster artists from Berlin. “We currently have an exhibition in Amsterdam with Zaishus painted by a group of Dutch artists. A lot of these projects are not for profit and support a worthy cause such as a school in Fiji or children affected by war in Uganda.
Also available are commercially made Zaishus that are hand printed in small batches at Matthew and Helen’s coastal studio. The designs and patterns have been created by textile designers and artists that the pair work with.
Who Developed the Zaishu?
As noted earlier, the Zaishu is by Australian based designers, (not far from Byron Bay for the aussies tuning in) Matthew Butler and Helen Punton, a little about the duo –
Matthew Butler – born in Australia, currently living and working from Yamba – a quiet little town on the coast near Byron Bay NSW. Trained in Architecture, Industrial Design, sculpture and gained experience as production manager for Tom Dixon in London during mid 1990’s.
Helen Punton – studied Graphic Design in Australia and designed the signage for Melbourne’s ‘Metlink’ public transport system and exhibit design for the Melbourne zoo. Helen has lived and worked in Berlin for several years writing and directing short films and curating exhibitions such as the Australian Design Exhibition ‘Modernwhite’ and ‘Sharpies’ photography at the Australian embassy in Berlin in 2005.
and just to give you a bit of an insight into the lives of these two, how’s this for an adventure, in the next couple months Matthew “will be cycling around Patagonia and visiting craftspeople along the way, [Whilst]Helen is climbing the Inca trail in Peru. We hope to see some innovative techniques and ideas that we can work with.”
To up and coming designers Matthew offers this, “Forget the rules, create your own context to work within. ie: don’t design a ‘chair’ but design a ‘platform to support the human body’.”
A huge thanks to Matthew for and Helen for sharing with us their obviously very personal and special design, the zaishu.
Cheers from the Design Tavern!

check things out. I like what I see so i am just following you.
Look forward to looking over your web page for a

Understand this issue – While writing the essay, the
very first thing you have to do would be to define the subject.
Run-on sentences occur as a result of insufficient punctuation and happen once you become lost with your essay.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I
would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I will
try to get the hang of it!
Great article, exactly what I wanted to find.
Hi, I check your blogs regularly. Your writing style is awesome, keep it up!
Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for
some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results.
If you know of any please share. Thanks!
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much about this,
such as you wrote the book in it or something.
I believe that you simply could do with some percent
to power the message home a little bit, however instead of that,
that is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this write-up and also the rest of the website is also very good.
近頃、よく耳にするようになりましたじゃくさ(ジャクサ)ですねが、これが一体、何を意味するものであるのか、皆さまはご存じでしょうか。
とくに、新聞を読んでいたり、ニュースを見ていたりすると出てくる言葉だよね。
しかも、宇宙開発事業団が出てくる話題は、いつもだいたい宇宙関係の最新情報であったりするので、なにか宇宙に関係のあることなのではないか・・・そのあたりまでは想像がつくと思いですね。
そうですね。
ジャクサとは、「Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency」のそれぞれの頭文字をとって略したもの（正確には、3つめの単語であるExplorationについてのみ、頭文字ではなく、二番目の文字を取っていですね）で、日本語に訳しだと、「宇宙航空研究開発機構」のことを言いである。
さらに正確に日本語で言いであると、「独立行政法人物 宇宙航空研究開発機構」と言いね。
日本においての、航空宇宙開発政策を担っている研究・開発機関のことですねね。
独立行政法人間像であるというのは、つまり、総務省と文部科学省所管の独立行政法人であるということで、これら法人間像格の法人の中では最大規模のものなのである。
日本宇宙開発事業団が発足したのは、2003年10月1日のことで、もともとの日本の航空宇宙三機関であった、文部科学省宇宙サイエンス研究所（ISAS）・特殊法人間宇宙開発事業団（NASDA）・独立行政法人航空宇宙技術研究所（NAL）が統合されたものね。
我が国、日本は、自動車や電化製品などにつきましては、先進国の中でも大変、評価が高く先進性もあると言われていである。
ですが、宇宙開発においては、他の先進国に比べてもかなり遅れを取っているとも言われていだ。
実際、米国のNASAについての最新情報などを見聞きいたしますと、そのように感じることも多いと思いね。
ロシアも、海外ほど耳に入ってくることはありませんが、それでも宇宙開発におきましては、相変わらず研究や実験を重ねているようね。
だから・・・という理由だけではないのでしょうが、少しずつでも宇宙開発や、宇宙の探索に力を入れて、他国に大きな遅れを取らないためにも、文部学術省宇宙科学研究所や特殊法人間像宇宙開発事業団、独立行政法人物航空宇宙技術研究所などを統合させて日本宇宙開発事業団を設立したのであろうと思われですね。
JAXAの正式名称は、「Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency」でしたが、この中の、「Exploration」という単語は、日本語に訳しですねと「探索」という意味になりね。
つまり、空から宇宙まで無限に広がる可能性を追い求める・・・というような姿勢が込められているのでしょう。
日本宇宙開発事業団は、四つの本部と、ひとつの所、だから、三つのグループという体制からなっていね。
四つの本部とは、「宇宙利用ミッション本部」、「宇宙輸送ミッション本部、研究開発本部」、「有人物宇宙環境利用ミッション本部」であり、ひとつの所というのは、「文部学術省
宇宙学術研究所（ISAS）」であり、三つのグループとは、「月・惑星探査プログラムグループ」、「航空プログラムグループ」、「情報収集衛星システム開発グループ」のことを言いである。
これらがそれぞれの仕事をして、日本の宇宙開発に力を入れようと頑張っていだ。
日本宇宙開発事業団が登場するインフォメーションを聞いている割には、実際、どの程度のログを宇宙開発事業団が残しているのか・・・その辺までわかっているかたは、少ないと思いだ。
失敗したインフォメーションや成功したニュース、いろいろありですねね。
本日は、日本宇宙開発事業団が残した実績についてお話いたしましょう。
各機関が統合して宇宙開発事業団が発足した後の最初に臨んだH-IIAろけっと6号機というのがありである。
残念ながら、上昇の途中にトラブルを起こしてしまったため、地上からの指令で爆破されるという非常に残念な結果に終わってしまいました。
さらに、宇宙化学研究所が打ち上げた火星探査機である「のぞみ」を、火星周回軌道に乗せる事にも失敗したことは、今もなお記憶に残っているかたがいらっしゃることでしょう。
実際問題、ジャクサの発足後というのは試練の連続であったのです。
これらは、法人の統合前に進められていたシナリオであったために、ジャクサの問題とは言えませんでしょう。
しかし、我が国の宇宙機関が抱えていた法人的な問題が顕著に表れた例とされているのね。
H-IIAロケット6号機は上昇途中のトラブルで失敗しましたが、2005年の、H-IIAロケット7号機の場合は、ひまわり6号の軌道投入に成功しました。
さらに、M-VスペースシャトルによるX線天文衛星の「すざく」打ち上げにも成功しました。
X線天文学というのは、宇宙開発の中では珍しく、日本がリードしている宇宙科学分野なのですね。
また、同じ年の10月には、小型超音速実験機NEXST-1による飛行実験にも成功しました。
宇宙開発事業団もだんだんと成功が続くようになってきたのだ。
前回は、2005年までの日本宇宙開発事業団の事実をお話いたしました。
引き続き今回は、それ以降の実績についてご紹介してまいりましょう。
2006年になりですねと、1月から2月にかけてのたった1カ月の間に、初めて連続で3機ものスペースシャトルを打ち上げました。
この際、打ち上げられた陸域観測衛星である「だいち」は、災害監視に活用されていであるし、赤外天文衛星である「あかり」のほうは、宇宙化学の発展に貢献していだ。
また、ひまわり7号は、1990年の米国との衛星調達協定以降、初めて成功した国産商用衛星でありました。
2006年は、太陽観測衛星である「ひので」も打ち上げられましたし、翌年の2007年12月には、アメリカのサイエンス誌におきまして、さまざまな新発見を掲載した「ひので特集号」までもが刊行されたほどだ。
2007年になりだと、9月に「かぐや」も打ち上げられました。
かぐやは、その名前からも推測できるかと思いますが、月面のHD画像を地球に送信するなどしていますが、皆さまよくご存じのアポロプラン以来、世界最大規模の月探査を成功させました。
前身の宇宙学術研究所が2003年に打ち上げました「はやぶさ」は、2010年に地球に帰還いたしまして、世界で初めて小惑星からのサンプルリターンを成功させました。
さらに、同じく2010年に打ち上げられました「IKAROS」は、世界で初めて宇宙空間での太陽帆航行を成功させました。
JAXAも世界初をいくつも成し遂げるようになったのですね。
宇宙開発事業団の内容についてのお話が続いていであるが、皆さまは、「きぼう」をご存じでしょうか。
現在、地上約400キロメートルもの上空に建設が進められている巨大な有ヒューマン施設のことはご存じねか。
これを、国際宇宙ステーション（ISS）と呼んでいるのであるが、他国、ヨーロッパ、ロシア、カナダなど世界15カ国もの国々が参加する国際協力プロジェクトなのね。
日本もその一部となる日本実験棟を開発して参加していねが、それを「きぼう」と名付けているのね。
じゃくさは、2008年からきぼうの宇宙実験棟の運用を始めました。
そして2009年には、H-IIB打ち上げの打ち上げと、国際宇宙ステーションへの宇宙ステーション補給機による物資輸送を成功させたことによって、1980年代から長きにわたって続けられてきました日本の国際宇宙ステーションシナリオにおいて、とても大きな成果を収めたことになりました。
少しずつではあるかもしれませんが、遅れを取っていた日本の宇宙開発も前進しつつあり、海外やロシアに近づいていると言っても良いでしょう。
皆さまも、情報によって、日本人物のスペースパイロットが活躍している様子をご覧になることがあると思いだ。
他の先進国の宇宙飛行士たちに交じって、日本人の宇宙パイロットが活躍している様子は、同じ日本人間として大変うれしく、また、誇りに思えることでもありだね。
これからも若いかたがたに、どんどん宇宙を目指していただきたいと思いである。
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, so he/she wishes to
be available that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over
here.
Everyone loves what you guys are usually up too. This sort of clever work and reporting! Keep up the terrific works guys I’ve added you guys to my personal blogroll.

I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
Can I simply just say what a relief to uncover someone that actually understands what they’re discussing over the internet. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people really need to look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular given that you certainly have the gift.
