About Otsuchi Mahai-argia

Otsuchi Otsuchin (Iwate, Japonia) eskuratutako orein-larruz egindako mahai-lanpara bat da. Herria 2011ko Japoniako ekialdeko lurrikara handiak eragindako tsunamiak jo zuen. Geroago, bertako laboreak kaltetu ziren, oreinen kopurua handitu eta biztanleena murriztu zen heinean. Bertako ehiztariek ehiza-haragiaren negozio bat abiatu zuten, izurrite gisa ehizatutako oreinak aprobetxatzeko. Lanpara 3D inprimaketaz egindako egitura batez osatuta dago, orein-larruz estalia, eta bere ehundurak animalia bizi baten forma gogorarazten du. Diseinuak oreinaren bizitza omentzen du eta presentzia lasai bat eskaintzen du.
