About Mushroom Tekje

Mushroom (Kömelek) — gündelik zatlary erkin sergilemek üçin niýetlenen tekjedir. Her bir kömelek şekili Okinawa kamfora agajyndan elde birin-birin oýulyp ýasalýar we içine magnit ornaşdyrylýar. Kömelekler poldan ýokary galýan inçe polat plastinka birikdirilýär, şeýlelikde her şekili islenişi ýaly erkin ýerleşdirip bolýar. Uly kömelekler dürli zatlary saklamak üçin, kiçi kömelekler bolsa açyk hatlary ýa-da bellikleri saklamak üçin niýetlenendir. Esas bölegi egilen polat plastinkalar bilen faneranyň utgaşmasyndan durýar. Dizaýn agaç bellikde ösüp çykýan kömelekden ylham alnyp döredildi we onuň görnüşi her ulanyjy bilen üýtgeýär.

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.
