Under the surface of Urushin
I have created a workplace for Japanese lacquer work with urushi, a sustainable natural material. My aim is to explore how we can use urushi to create stronger relationships with objects in an age of abundance. By combining tradition and innovation, I want to highlight the values of urushi in my context.
Jury Motivation:
A poetic and reflective project of past, present, future and crafts from another part of the world. A great approach to combining wood with the Japanese craft method urushi. The result is an exciting piece of seating and workplace with an international character in terms of both function and form.
