2023 Shrine Furniture
Design
ある神社の麓に土に覆われた住宅を設計した。その住宅のダイニングに配置された家具。
「神社」の建築的なエレメント、例えば雄大な曲線が幾重にも重なる垂木、有機的な曲面による厳かな屋根、経年変化による偉大な歴史を感じる色彩、様々な事象を抽出して家具としてコラージュを試みた。
前例のない直径1200mmの大樋飴釉タイルを制作した。そのタイルをテーブルに慎重に嵌め込み、土と木の融合を図っている。
コロナ禍を経て、人の働き方は多様になり、コミュニティのあり方さえも変質をした。リアルで交流することの尊さを学び、人と人が手を取り合い「祈る」ことの豊かさも学んだ。「神社」は古くは神聖な山、滝、岩、森、巨木などに「カミ」が宿るとして敬い、社殿がなくとも「神社」とした。森羅万象、「カミ」から様々なインスピレーションを幸運にも授かった家具についてのストーリーである。
We designed a house covered in soil at the foot of a shrine. The furniture placed in the dining room of the house.
We tried to extract various elements of the shrine's architectural elements, such as the majestic curved rafters overlapping each other, the solemn roof with organic curves, and the colors that evoke a great history due to changes over time, and collage them into furniture.
We created an unprecedented 1200mm diameter Ohi amber glaze tile. The tile was carefully fitted into the table to fuse earth and wood.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, people's working styles have become more diverse, and even the nature of communities has changed. We learned the value of real-life interactions and the richness of people joining hands and "praying". In ancient times, "shrines" were sacred mountains, waterfalls, rocks, forests, and giant trees, and were revered as places where "kami" resided, and were considered "shrines" even without a shrine building. This is a story about furniture that was fortunately given various inspirations from the "kami" of all things in the universe.
