「Ren」は組子の木製モビール。水面から着想を得てデザインをしました。部材を0.5度づつ回転させ組んでおり、回転することで水面に浮かぶ波紋や木洩れ陽のような柔らかく有機的な表情をみせます。障子や襖などの日本独自の建具の要素を取り入れながら、丁寧に組まれた木の連なりを室内に飾ることで、美しい自然の陰影を感じることができます。
"Ren" is a kumiko (traditional woodcraft) mobile inspired by surface water. The wooden pieces are assembled by rotating each by 0.5 degrees, showing an organic expression like ripples on the water's surface or sunlight filtering through the trees. It incorporates elements of traditional Japanese interior designs, such as shoji (sliding doors made of translucent paper and wooden lattice frames) and fusuma (rectangular door panels). Hang this mobile to appreciate the beautiful shadows of nature.
