The Design

About Seven El Carillón De Viento

Seven es un timbre de viento con una nueva estructura que utiliza la estructura Tensegridad. En el inestable clima social de los últimos años, la gente se mueve constantemente entre la estabilidad y la ansiedad. La estructura de Tensegridad es la estructura que encarna la sociedad actual. Parece flotar y estable, pero fuerzas externas como el viento hacen que se balancee para mantener el equilibrio. Al convertir este balanceo en sonido, resuena en el espacio y añade curación y color a la vida diaria.

Production Technology: All parts of "Seven" are made of brass, and they are exquisitely balanced.
To maintain the balance, a high level of precision was required.
Therefore, the product was manufactured in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, which is famous for its metalworking.
One of the characteristics of Takaoka's manufacturing is the division of labor.
The production of this product was made possible by the concentration of the technical capabilities of specialists in various fields
such as casting, bending, and welding, including SANOMASA factory, which took overall command of the production this time.
Design Challenge: One is the study that led to this modeling.
The other is that this wind chime stands on its own with a very delicate balance, so precise technical skill was required for every component.
Research: First, we looked at everyday situations and clarified concepts from daily observations.
Next, we researched the tensegrity structure that embodied this concept and deepened our understanding through repeated experiments.
Then, he examined hundreds of times the shape of the form that would allow it to function as a wind chime.
Finally, we searched for a company that could accurately manufacture the design, deepened close communication, and completed the project over time.
Inspiration: This project started as part of an independent project under the theme of "Between stability and anxiety. In the unstable social
climate of recent years, people and society are constantly moving between stability and anxiety.
I believe that the tensegrity structure is a structure that hovers between stability and anxiety, embodying contemporary society, and that there is something.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2021 and completed in August 2022.
Operation Flow: Although the tensegrity structure makes it appear to be stable while floating, external forces such as wind cause it to sway in order to maintain equilibrium.
By converting this swaying into sound, the sound resonates through the space and adds healing and color to daily life.
