Arakawa & Co., Ltd. will be supporting an exhibition by Jun Murakoshi Design at Milan Design Week 2019. The event runs from Wednesday April 10 to Sunday April 14 in Milan, Italy.
Jun Murakoshi Design will be presenting an exhibit a new product and installation based on ‘EQUILIBRIUM’, a captivating and subtle beauty in the extension of an elongated fine line that withstands gravity. This project is an experimental attempt to establish a line as an individual product. Created irregularly formed random lines using connected units and balanced out the tensile strength achieved by ARAKAWA GRIPs and wires with the compressive strength of units in a perpendicular direction. Through this process, a delicate appearance of enduring gravity emerges.
