Second Nature

October 17th, 2008

Second Nature is the title of an exhibition curated by Tokujin Yoshioka, at 21_21 Design Sight in Tokyo. The theme is: “Thinking about the future of design: Second Nature, from the depths of a sea of memories”. One of the objects on display is Venus, a natural crystal chair by Tokujin himself, which I just showed you a few days ago. For those of you who don’t know what this chair is about: this chair is build with natural crystals who grew on a synthetic substrate in a tank filled with a fluid. So here are the first images of the finished version.
The exhibition opens today, go!

Stan Smith Remake

October 16th, 2008

adidas Stan Smith remake by Shigeki FujishiroThe adidas Stan Smith is a true iconic tennis sneaker. Shigeki Fujishiro was asked to do a remake, he decided not to go wild but to use the original vent holes for some simple embroidery.

Ryuji Nakamura

October 15th, 2008

Ryuji Nakamura is the Japanese architect who designed this chair called Nami. I’m not sure if you really can sit on it because it’s made of paper. But I guess it should be possible to extrude this chair with some plastic material.

Catenarhythm is an other project by him. I’m not sure what it is about, but I like this image.

Venus - Natural Crystal Chair

October 10th, 2008

I am quite a fan of rapid prototyping projects, but I’m not sure if this one qualifies. Venus is the latest project by Tokujin Yoshioka, a Japanese designer. It is a ‘Natural Crystal Chair’, the production process is so different than any other chair out there. A substrate made of polyester elastomer forms the skeleton and is submerged in a tank, here grow the crystals on that substrate.
Amazing stuff!

Flake

October 8th, 2008

I really like styrofoam as a material, well actually it is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam. This lamp called Flake was designed by Anne Boenisch.
This lamp is part of the DMY Asia Exhibition Tour 2008. So if you are in Taiwan, Taipei, Tokyo or Seoul in the coming weeks, you should go and see the work of 18 Berlin based designers.
