About Mushroom Riiul
Mushroom on riiul, mis on loodud igapäevaste esemete vabaks väljapanekuks. Iga seenekujuline vorm on käsitsi nikerdatud Okinawa kampripuidust ning sisaldab magnetit. Seened on kinnitatud õhukese terasplaadi külge, mis tõuseb põrandast, nii et iga vormi saab vabalt paigutada. Suured seened hoiavad mitmesuguseid esemeid, samas kui väikesed seened hoiavad postkaarte või märkmeid. Alus ühendab endas painutatud terasplaate ja vineeri. Disaini inspireerisid puidust sildil kasvavad seened ning selle välimus muutub vastavalt igale kasutajale.

- Production Technology
- The mushrooms are carefully hand-carved one by one from Okinawan camphorwood.
Thin steel plates were then bent and combined with plywood to create the base to which the mushrooms are attached. - Design Challenge
- I had a hard time conveying the wonder of nature in a sensory way. Structure and details were important, but I had to make sure that what I felt was expressed properly as I worked toward completion.
- Research
- I visited several islands in Okinawa for this project. I observed and repeatedly sketched the nature there. Then, while modeling in 3D, I made a number of mock-ups and examined them. At the same time, I also considered what materials would be appropriate.
- Inspiration
- I usually create ideas from the nature around me.
This was inspired by the sight of mushrooms growing out of a wooden sign in my neighborhood.
I felt the vitality and freedom of the mushrooms that grow from artifacts.
It was very interesting.
Currently, there are various ways of life and values.
This shelf changes its appearance depending on the user. - Project Duration
- The project started in June 2020 in Okinawa and finished in January 2021 in Okinawa.
