Maison & Objet, September 2011, Jeunes Talens à la Carte‘s exhibition, young talents from Japan. Unforeseen meetings and snapshots with some designers of this selection : a creativity full of Japanese folk and skills passed down from generation to generation. Like Kiyotaka Tsuyuki, a cabinet maker designer (pictures 2) uses secular rare trees. In this exhibition, no stylistic revolution from the working drawing empire, only beautiful master pieces I’d like to bring back home. Picture above : the young artist Kosogawa Runa, awared many times in Japan. When I met her, she was with the gifted kimono painter Chie Miyajima (picture 3). Of course you know how much I’m crazy about kimono! I had the fantastic opportunity to meet in Kyoto, one of the court masters weavers (a coming up post promise!).
Picture above : the designer Kazuyuki Kawase works for the Design Ken Okuyama firm, here with “Liana”, his room light. Let’s have a walk in woods, while faires are around! And what about changing our Chrismas tree this year (picture below)! Lovely scenography of the fashion designer, Kazuaki Takashima. In this installation realted to the deaster of Fukushima, he to wonders about links between men and nature. A fairy world falsely naive and childish… Last picture : I have fun with the Magma chaos. It changes from the boring correct “refine design”. It’s unpretentious, with a bit of self-mockery. A kind of deep breath after giggling! All the things misses in today contemporary art, but of course I might be strongly wrong, lol! Enjoying, breathing, having fun!
Oskare sama desu ta!
