continuous winding display presents nendo's tableware collection in tokyo

the travelling exhibition sees the host gallery segmented into a series of dark and compact spaces. in order to subtly connect each room, visitors are taken on a journey to follow a white table, which meanders and curves its way through the white-walled space, while displaying the array of nendo designed  black tableware. to emphasize the feeling of weightlessness, the table measures at a thickness of only three millimeters. its delicate character is supported by a limited number of legs; leaning on the wall and columns for added support.
