A New Era of Cozy Living: ‘poapel’ Introduces the Movable Storage Low Table
Imagine a living space where comfort and convenience flow seamlessly, adapting to your every move. This vision is now a reality with the launch of the “Moveable Cozy Storage Low Table” by poapel, a new brand from RISU Co., Ltd., a seasoned manufacturer known for its robust ‘Trunk Cargo’ outdoor storage and ‘SOLOW’ trash cans. This innovative table, designed specifically for low-style relaxation, began its journey with reservations on December 4th and officially launched on December 10th, 2025, promising to enhance everyday comfort.
The table’s standout feature is its ability to move with you, catering to various sitting positions and styles, whether you’re lounging on a bean bag or a low sofa. It eliminates the need to constantly adjust your posture or reach for items, as both tabletop and internal storage contents are always within effortless grasp. This thoughtful design fosters a truly relaxed environment, minimizing disruptions to your line of sight and movement.
Crowdfunding Success: A Testament to Anticipation
The “Moveable Cozy Storage Low Table” garnered significant attention even before its official launch. A crowdfunding campaign on Makuake, starting September 30th, achieved its 200,000 yen goal in just two and a half hours. By its conclusion, the project had soared to an impressive 886% of its target, supported by 214 backers.
Comments from supporters highlighted the table’s perfect fit for modern lifestyles: “Perfect for our home with bean bags,” and “Just right for living on a floor chair,” showcasing the keen demand for such a versatile piece of furniture.
The Philosophy Behind poapel: Comfort and Serenity
poapel, a portmanteau of Finnish words ‘lampoa’ (warmth) and ‘perus’ (basic), embodies the concept of “tidy room, warm heart.” It is RISU Co., Ltd.’s answer to the evolving demands of contemporary living spaces, aiming to inject emotional value and create a sense of calm amidst daily life.
This new brand is built on three core values: emotionally resonant design, timeless universal forms, and durable quality. By leveraging its expertise in plastic manufacturing, poapel seeks to optimize Japan’s often limited living spaces, making them more comfortable and functional.
Addressing the Needs of Low-Style Living
The development of this table was driven by a deep understanding of modern lifestyle shifts, such as the rise of remote work and dual-income households, which have increased the emphasis on personal relaxation at home. RISU Co., Ltd.’s research into low-style living revealed several common challenges:
-
A strong desire for easily movable furniture that adapts to prolonged sitting in various postures.
-
Difficulty in accessing items and maintaining comfortable posture with fixed tables.
-
The “placement problem” where standard side tables are often too high or too far for low-style seating.
-
Storage units frequently obstructing views or disrupting living flow.
-
A growing demand for minimalist solutions, where only essential items are conveniently close.
The “Moveable Cozy Storage Low Table” was born from these insights, serving as both a table and a storage unit that seamlessly integrates into low-style homes, creating both functional space and a sense of calm.
Ingenious Features for Seamless Living
This multi-functional low table is available in two configurations: with a wooden top or as a standalone storage unit, both offered in elegant ivory and dark gray. The wooden top is also sold separately.
