Doraemon is a series of manga by Fujiko F. Fujio about a robotic cat from the 22nd century future who uses Secret Gadgets hidden in his pocket. For this project, products were designed to commemorate the 50th anniversary since the first publication of Doraemon. Although there has been a multitude of merchandise in which protagonists of a story are depicted directly the way they are, or simply placed on the item, the idea for this project was to expand to new target groups and scenes by using a different approach.
First and foremost, focus was placed on how one of the main characters, Doraemon, and many of the Secret Gadgets in the story are composed of simple shapes and colors. The collection of minimalist desktop accessories was created upon the assumption that the characteristics of Doraemon will not be compromised even if elements and details are stripped down to the absolute minimum.
Doraemon’s Hand takes the form of a simple sphere. With a neodymium magnet inside, the sphere can hold clips and pins that tend to be scattered all over the desk, and it can also be used to hold memos. The card holder and pen holder, both designed in the shape of Doraemon’s ‘4D pocket’, are balanced by the weight inside, as is the clip holder. The lamp comes with Doraemon’s Tail attached, which is a power switch that can be turned on and off by pulling on it, just like Doraemon in the story. The bookends featuring the ‘anywhere door’ motif were inspired by the fascination of books, which allows anyone to move instantly between various worlds.The tray for small articles is in the shape of a beam emitted by ‘small light’ from straight above. When a figurine is placed on it, it looks as if having been shrunk in the light. The mobiles, enlivening the interior with their floaty movement in response to the flow of air, are in the shape of ‘hopters’.
Rather than simply abstracting the shapes themselves, the collection is designed to be cognizant of, and linking to, the functions and roles of each item in the story.

Doraemon 是 Fujiko F. Fujio 的一系列漫画，讲述了 22 世纪未来的一只机器猫，它使用隐藏在口袋里的秘密小工具。对于这个项目，产品是为了纪念哆啦A梦首次出版50周年而设计的。尽管有大量商品直接描绘故事的主角，或者只是简单地放置在物品上，但该项目的想法是通过使用不同的方法扩展到新的目标群体和场景。

首先，重点放在故事中的主要角色之一哆啦A梦和许多秘密小工具是如何由简单的形状和颜色组成的。极简桌面配件系列是基于这样的假设而创建的：即使元素和细节被剥离到绝对最少，哆啦A梦的特性也不会受到损害。

哆啦A梦的手采用简单球体的形式。球体内部装有钕磁铁，可以固定夹子和大头针，这些夹子和大头针往往散落在桌子上，也可以用来固定备忘录。卡片夹和笔夹都设计成哆啦A梦的“4D口袋”形状，内部的重量平衡，夹子支架也是如此。灯上附有哆啦A梦的尾巴，这是一个电源开关，可以通过拉动它来打开和关闭，就像故事中的哆啦A梦一样。以“anywhere door”为主题的书挡的灵感来自书籍的魅力，让任何人都能在不同的世界之间瞬间移动。小物品托盘呈“小光”从正上方发出的光束形状。当一个小雕像放在上面时，它看起来就像在光线下缩小了一样。移动装置通过响应空气流动的漂浮运动使内部充满活力，呈“跳跃者”的形状。

该系列不是简单地抽象形状本身，而是旨在认识并链接到故事中每个项目的功能和角色。
