twinkle twinkle Rattan-Lamp
In exploring the familiar presence of rattan furniture and objects in Japanese living, this work seeks to rediscover and reinterpret the material’s inherent beauty. Beyond its graceful curves, a closer look at its cross-section reveals a structure formed by multiple vascular bundles, enabling remarkable flexibility in bending. When sliced into millimetre-thin layers, needle-sized pores shimmer with passing light, emitting a uniquely sparkling glow. By re-examining materials and techniques long embedded in our everyday lives through a contemporary lens, we uncover new aesthetic qualities. These rediscoveries have the potential to evolve into new values, enriching the way we live.
