ROLLS by Chikara Ohno of Sinato
Japanese designer Chikara Ohno of Sinato has created the ROLLS installation at the Diesel Denim Gallery Aoyama in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
.
Description from the designer:
The characteristic of the material used for this installation, which is aluminum, is that it is very thin and easily bent by hands, yet harder than cloth or paper. Therefore it possesses both soft and hard qualities. By winding and sometimes extending this single, long strip of aluminum from the entrance to the back-end of the store, it creates a beautiful waving form, changing its function and features as the material strength changes. This flexible quality of the material represents a gentle connection between the softness of clothes and hardness of architecture.

Serious accessibility issues, but cool looking displays.

Metalic “TP” party is goofy.

The lighting effect as it bounces on the aluminum is just spectacular! The but the use of the aluminum kinda scares me. Aren’t the edges sharp for people to be around?
Design’s excellent!
