Today, September 1, is Disaster Prevention Day. It is a day to deepen awareness of disasters such as typhoons, storm surges, and earthquakes, and to confirm how to be prepared in normal times.

One of the dangers lurking in the house during an earthquake is "furniture tipping over. Various countermeasure goods are currently on the market, and Otsuka Furniture has recently obtained a patent for its furniture fall prevention device, "Anti-Tiltover Atlas Neo".


The product is a furniture fall prevention device designed to firmly support the ceiling and furniture on a "surface". In a vibration test that reproduced actual seismic waves, it was proven to withstand a seismic intensity of 6 or 7.

The design, which won the Good Design Award in 2013, is simple and sophisticated without spoiling the aesthetics of the room. The support columns can be extended and retracted to adjust to the height from the top of the furniture to the ceiling. It is said to be easy to install with the built-in over-tightening prevention function, and a free installation service by professional staff is also available upon delivery.


The price starts at 15,120 yen including tax. Available at Otsuka Kagu showrooms. It is too late to take countermeasures against earthquakes, so why don't you take a second look?
