‘TAPI’ by studioblank image credits: 29cm

korean firm studioblank has developed ‘TAPI (tap on my shoulder)‘ an object based on a motif of natural healing. it uses the texture of the wood and its weight to ease the physical and mental fatigue by patting tired muscles of the users. the product has its own personality and value due to its unique growth rings and artist’s hand-made process. the expressive creation allows the piece to develop its own personality over time.
