杉の間伐材を使ったスツール。木こりの職人がチェーンソーで切削していくため、図面という伝達手段は使わず、手描きのイメージ図をもとに、製作時に立ち会い、作業の進行をみながら、会話し、その時にしかできない形状を探し出した。数値や精度へ固執せず、デザイナーと職人がその場で「同期」することで成型されたスツール。
A stool made of thinned cedar wood. Since the lumberjack craftsmen cut the wood with a chainsaw, they did not use drawings as a means of communication. Instead, they were present at the time of production based on hand-drawn images, watching the work in progress, conversing, and searching for a shape that could only be created at that moment. The stools were formed by "synchronizing" the designer and craftsman on the spot, without adhering to numerical values or precision.
委ねることで得られるもの。 −作為と無作為の狭間で−
有機質と無機質、自然物と人工物、曲線と直線、アートとデザインなど、相反するように見え、こちら側と向こう側のように分け隔てられているもののほとんどは、人間が「構図」としてわかりやすく対立させただけもののように思う。
実生活におけるそれらは必ずしもそうではなく、表裏一体という言葉もあるように、実は密接で、寄り添いあう関係でもある。
単純な対立構造ではなく、組み合わせると一見感じる違和感という“フック”をうまく感知し、そこに親和性を見出すことができた時、新たな価値とデザインの可能性が生まれるのではないか。
作為と無作為の狭間でせめぎ合う思考とその先にあるまだ見ぬ姿。テーマでもある「行為の先にある現象」を踏まえ、「委ねる」ということを「行為」と捉え、その成り行きを寛容に受け入れることで、画一的なデザインとは一線を画す、表情豊かなプリミティブなデザインを試みている。

What you get by delegating. -Between the random and the random.
between the organic and the inorganic, the curved and the straight, the art and the design.
Organic and inorganic, natural and artificial, curved and straight, art and design - most of these seem to be opposites, and are divided into this side and that side, but it seems that they are only opposites that we humans have made into easy-to-understand "compositions".
In real life, these are not necessarily so. As the term "two sides of the same coin" suggests, they are in fact close and coexist with each other.
When we are able to detect the "hook" of discomfort that we feel at first glance when they are combined and find affinity in them, rather than a simple oppositional structure, new value and design possibilities may be born.
The thoughts that struggle between the "act" and the "randomness," and the unknown forms that lie ahead of them. Based on the theme of "the phenomenon that lies beyond action," the artist considers "entrusting" as an "act" and attempts to create expressive primitive designs that are distinctly different from standardized designs by accepting the process with openmindedness.
