You like Tom Dixon's coffee set, every time you see the coffee in the brass cup will feel inexplicably happy; you spent a sum of money, a friend in New York sent you the original poster of Matisse, framed it with a picture frame, hung in the most conspicuous place in the living room, always admired, prayed every day; you fancy a ceramic vase of seletti, friends around you do not understand, why you spent a thousand yuan to buy an object that can not be eaten, can not wear, can only be placed, you bought a good heart and thought the money was well spent.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory tells us that in today's material abundance, we need more beauty and are willing to consume for beauty.
The keen market has responded eagerly, from the curatorial display of The Gentle Monster to the gorgeous window of Hermès, as well as countless art co-branding and crossovers, the distance between design art and life is constantly shrinking.
Every autumn, the streets of Tokyo are transformed into a mobile exhibition hall. As a twelve-day festival, DESIGNART TOKYO brings together projects from around the world in art, architecture, interior design, product design, fashion and technology to Tokyo, displaying them in galleries, shops and other public venues, so that everyone can enjoy every exhibition in the city walk.
Some people see the new direction of window decoration, some people see a new spark of home decoration, and some people want to find some new ways to open up installation art, but no matter who you are, as long as you love art and design, you can always gain some new knowledge from this activity.

If you want to get your hands on the designs that haven't yet been listed, don't miss this exhibition called "蔵出し".
With the aim of bringing creators and users together, Jin Kuramoto, curator and designer, called on friends to launch this mini-exhibition. The poetically designed Kazuhiro Yamanaka brings a minimalist-style bookshelf.
Norihiko Terayama weaves a lamp out of wires, but with a minimalist texture;
We+ design studio captures the traces of the water vortex, freezes into beautiful ornaments, inserts a small flower on it, and uses hard and soft texture to highlight the ingenuity of the design;
Of course, Kuramoto also "entrained" smuggling. He will bring a water vessel produced in cooperation with Norwegian brand Nedre Foss, and it is said that there is no trace of running water, but Kuramoto's collaborative work imitates the traces of flowing water and drinks water with "water", which is a bit interesting.
The name of the exhibition also has a deep meaning, "蔵出し" means "out of the warehouse" in Japanese, because of the epidemic, many exquisite designs are sealed in the warehouse, there is no chance to be available. The exhibition is like a creative bazaar, presenting these works in their entirety, allowing the audience to harvest their favorites while also helping designers consume inventory.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">Ambi</h1>
After graduating from Musashino Art University, Shun Koike and Shohei Kobayashi founded the Ambi Studio, which focuses on observing the "phenomena" of the world and designing furniture, lighting and interior spaces.
I'd say ambi's design is full of reinterpretations of the laws of nature, and the umbrella stand, called Zero Gravity, looks so light that it looks like it's made of a wire. The all-black texture, like a marker pen from the sky, leaves a trace of cheerful graffiti in the ordinary space.
However, contrary to the visual presentation, the umbrella frames of this series are all poured with cement and other mixed materials, which is very heavy. The name contrasts with the visual lightness and the actual quality, and if the "weightlifting is light" can be distorted, the work should be used as an illustration.
In addition to the "zero gravity" umbrella stand, there is also the "portable light" luminaire series. By changing the shape of the lamp body, the direction of the light can be freely guided. The light source is located in the central part of the lampshade, and the user can also change the brightness by expanding or shrinking the lamp.
