Ms. Adachi snapped countless photos of these roosting pigeons, which gave her the idea for the Cave. She first tried placing a straight-backed chair inside a bookshelf, but said she felt that such a design was likely to make users feel claustrophobic. She turned to a womb-shaped seat instead, and placed it at the bookshelf’s bottom.

“I wanted to create a situation like from your childhood,” she said. “Like when you’re at home, hiding under the table, listening to your parents’ conversation. That is a memorable experience that many people have.”

She built the first Cave herself, using maple wood veneer and gray fabric. After earning her degree in 2004, Ms. Adachi took the Cave to the 2005 Copenhagen International Furniture Fair. The fair’s proprietors were so impressed by Ms. Adachi’s modified bookshelf that they featured it in their promotional brochures — a rare honor for a young designer.
