curiosity: 'mist bench' for tokyo fiber '09 senseware exhibition' at milan design week 09

gwenael nicolas of japanese design studio curiosity, has imagined a space where crystals are freed from the draw of gravity, flying and bouncing into space, the gem stones become as weightless as the air.

the design of the space is based on the lining of floating layers of koishimaru silk, a core value of the 'sensai' brand.

the uniqlo megastore designed by curiosity was recently opened in tokyo, japan.

while in the past technological devices have merely been viewed as a tool to one's artistic endeavors, device art seeks to place technology at the forefront of the work.

architect jun aoki designed 'thin beam', an ultra long cantilever lighting fixture made from carbon fiber.

nendo created blown-fabric 'smash' for tokyo fiber ‘09 senseware, developed with japanese synthetic fibre technology.
