OMONew Exhibition : DesignArt Tokyo 2022 (UNDER 30 -Karyn Lim) Time : October 21st -30th 2022 Venue : Shibuya, Tokyo Exhibition : Tokyo Design Week 2016 (Debut Exhibition) Time : November 2nd-7th 2016 Venue : Meiji-Jingu Gaien Mae OMO is a collaboration piece between Indonesian designer Fani Atmanti and Singaporean designer Karyn Lim. Blending traditional Indonesian materials and craftsmanship with a contemporary concept, this duo brings an edgy twist to Asian craftsmanship. The geometric Omo Bag brings a little ‘surprise!’ when transformed from its flat two-dimensional to its exciting three-dimensional state. Made from Afoa wood native to the Nias island in Indonesia, this bag hopes to keep traditional craft relevant to a homogenising global culture. OMOはインドネシア人デザイナー、ファニ・アトマンティとシンガポール人デザイナーキャリン・リムによる共同作品です。インドネシアの伝統的な材料、職人の技をコンテンポラリーなコンセプトとブレンドすることにより、エッジの効いたひねりをアジアの職人芸にもたらしました。びっくりする仕掛けが、幾何学的模様のOMOバックにはあります。なんと、このバックはクラッチバッグのような２Dの形からから、立体的な形へと自由自在に変形するのです。 OMOはインドネシアのニアス島にあるアフォアの木から作られています。作者たちはこの作品を通して、均一化しつつある現代文化に伝統技術の要素を組み込める可能性を提案しています。 PRODUCT INQUIRIES /PURCHASE : CONTACT HERE |
