In Japan I noticed the very strong visual aspect of using Kumiko, Screens that can be ornamental but also used as privacy screens in restaurants. Inspired by the traditional Japanese kumiko screen-craftsmanship, these cabinets combine semi see through screens and a very well crafted cabinet to create an interesting composition and light placed inside will give a warm feeling to the room making the whole cabinet into a lamp of sorts.
日本で見た組子の衝立に私は強い衝撃を受けました。食事をする店などで装飾用はもちろん、プライバシーを守る間仕切りとしも使われています。日本の伝統工芸である組子細工の職人技に魅かれたこの作品は、格子越しに垣間見える仕切りと、精巧な作りのキャビットで構成されています。趣のある部材の調和と同時に内部の灯が、キャビネット内部を照らし、暖かな雰囲気を作り上げます。
