for Urushi Kobo Oshima by | n meister

A series of bud vases and small containers, created using traditional Yamanaka lacquer techniques by Urushi Kobo Oshima, a highly-respected lacquer workshop founded in 1909. We dramatically enlarged the lid of the traditional Japanese lacquerware soup bowl, as though it had entirely covered the bowl. By playing with familiar expectations for the object’s scale, we changed the relationship between its parts and emphasised the small moment of delight that comes from taking off a lid.

由Urushi Kobo Oshima用传统山中漆工艺制作的一系列花蕾花瓶和小容器，这是一家成立于1909年的备受尊敬的漆厂。我们戏剧性地放大了这个日本传统漆器汤碗的盖子，好像它把整个碗都盖住了。通过对物体的规模进行熟悉的预期，我们改变了它各部分之间的关系，并强调了揭开盖子带来的欢乐时刻。
