Distillation of Architecture: 家具

Bringing together architects and makers from Japan, this exhibition reconsiders the concept of furniture in relation to architecture, through a process of ‘distillation’ – the refinement of ideas, materials and processes. Four architects have each been paired with a maker and asked to rethink a piece of furniture or domestic structure. The resulting works demonstrate how living spaces can be transformed through architectural and material thinking.
