ryuji nakamura: puddle

japanese architect ryuji nakamura is known for his delicate use of unexpected materials.
his installation 'puddle' consists of various sheets of cellophane that have been rolled
to create a colorful table top of vertical standing tubes.

the project was originally created as part of the design x science meeting 'earth: materials for design' exhibition
in tokyo. the show explored the use of everyday materials such as wood, plastic and metals, with the means of
creating a dialog on making / designing objects in the coming age.

'puddle' is based on a study of how various designers, who work with a range of materials,
understand the flow of time on our planet. the intention of each piece is to examine the
'communication between design and science' while using materials familiar to us.
