Jun Fujisaku's 'Transcenders' Blurs Home and Office Objects

Designer Jun Fujisaku presented 'Transcenders' at the Design Academy Eindhoven Graduation Show 2025. The project hybridizes household objects with office furniture, making them indistinguishable. Examples include a vacuum cleaner that becomes a briefcase, a cabinet that transforms into a desk, and an ironing board shaped like an office chair. Fujisaku, with an architectural background, uses the series to challenge gender roles embedded in these objects: the broom associated with women, the briefcase with men. Materially, pine wood from domestic structures reveals industrial aluminum frames, allowing two aesthetics to coexist. The project critiques post-war domestic models that made these objects separate and opposing symbols.
