snow

snow by Tsukasa Sato from japan

designer's own words:

This is a system of generating patterns of a snowflake that based on Ukichiro Nakaya's achievement who is famous for the first production of artificial snow. Although Nakaya divided snowflakes into dozens of types according to shapes, I chose nine types from among them (the top of the diagram) and overlaid images ,and as a result, a kind of template was produced (the middle of the diagram). It is possible to make tons of patterns of a snowflake by the use of this (the bottom of the diagram). I plan to apply them to ceramic, metal, resin, leather, and other media.
