Designing no figure life

[ description ]
In general, figure is used to express quantity or number objects.
That's why we see figure in our life everyday.
Figure is useful but sometimes figure annoies us.
If figure around us is subsutitued for something, how does our life change?

Designing with comparison

[ reserch question ]
How can we express originality of your countries on design?

[ description ]
What effects originality of your country on design?
You will imagine such visible and tangible essences as material, shape and color.
In my opinion, there is also mental essence.
Language is one of the most original things on culture.
So I'm gonna try to design objects which have ( my country's ) identity from the aspect of language.

The value of shadows (darkness)

[ description ]
In general, we think the image of lights positive and the image of shadows negative.
But my thought has been changed by a book, "in praise of shadows", which says many Japanese aesthetic senses were generated from shadows.
I'd like to find and generate the value of shadows.

[ inspiration ]
- a book, "in praise of shadows" by Junichiro Tanizaki

- crescent
In my opinion, crescent is a good object which is made of the relationship of lights and shadows
