'firstly the concept for vase metro is about a complete contrast between the porcelaine
object with the highest level of the craftsmanship and tiles as surfacing material for
buildings. I created a space of which atmosphere allows people to naturally feel this
concept behind. I used beige colour for walls which symbolizes the most common surface
character of french city views. on these two beige walls I placed sign boards which once
again illustrate the most commonly known typology at metro stations in paris. so I created
this space which speaks of such contrasts as in its concept by having this space with
the object.' NF
