About Waon Fanazavana Fantsika amin'ny Rindrina

Ny Waon dia fitaovana fanazavana afantsika amin'ny rindrina natao amin'ny Mino washi, taratasy manokana any Japana. Ny endriny dia manondro ny fizotran'ny fanaovana taratasy, izay ampihozongozonina ao anaty rano ny fibra mba hiparitaka mitovy. Ny washi dia falifaly sy fihodinina ho lasa hodidina mba hamorona velaran-tsimba lehibe. Takelaka akrilika manify no mihazona ny taratasy eo amin'ny toerany, ka tsy ilaina intsony ny rafitra hita maso, ary toa mitsingevana ilay taratasy. Ny elanelana eo anelanelan'ny taratasy sy ny rindrina koa dia manampy amin'ny fampielezana hafanana ho an'ireo lampy telo, izay azo soloina mora foana. Ny fahazavana malefaka dia mety tsara amin'ny fidirana, efitrano fandraisam-bahiny, ary efitrano fatorian-tsaina.

Unique Properties
I designed a lighting fixture with the aim of incorporating Japanese paper into the interior. When making paper, the fibers are intertwined with vertical and horizontal shaking. For that reason, I tried to create a form that moves up, down, left, and right. We respect the handiwork of the craftsman by leaving the ears, which is the charm of Japanese paper.

Production Technology
By using an acrylic plate to fix the thin Japanese paper, we were able to eliminate the existence of the frame. The Japanese paper is fixed at a distance from the wall so that the Japanese paper appears to float. The distance is also the heat dissipation space of the light bulb.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to use the surface of the washi paper vertically and maintain the curved surface. By folding and twisting it into pleats, we were able to create a large curved surface. By using an acrylic plate as a method of fixing the thin Japanese paper, the existence of the frame is eliminated, and the form that draws attention only to the Japanese paper.
Research
By giving form to invisible sounds and sensations, I am researching forms that create empathy and stimulate people's sensibilities. We pursue beautiful forms that deeply appeal to the sensibility like sculpture.
Inspiration
Washi is a paper unique to Japan. Inspired by the sound it makes when the fibers are pulled out of the water and shaken to even out. The shape of the pleats makes us imagine a musical scale, and the twisted curve expresses the tone.
Project Duration
Waon was designed in Okinawa in 2022.
Operation Flow
This light will be mounted on the wall. Turn on the power by unplugging and plugging in the outlet. It uses 3 bulbs and is easy to replace. By changing the position of the acrylic frame that holds the Japanese paper in place, it can be transformed into any shape. The expression of the lighting changes depending on the vertical position, front and back angle, and left and right opening. By using Japanese paper as a canvas and adding the hands of a calligrapher and a painter, it becomes a lighting that becomes a unique picture.
