SOSUKE NAKABO
Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
This vacuum cleaner is carefully designed by reframing it as a tool which gives colours to people's daily lives, rather than as a household appliance evaluated by the specifications. Therefore it doesn't have even a powered-brush on the nozzle. Although it is simple and sturdy like commercial equipment, blended in with the household where it is used. Its modest, unobtrusive appearance assumes that it will be placed in a living space. Since it is extremely light (1.25kg) and has good weight balance, it is easy to handle and the user does not tire when using it.
