The exhibition in Copenhagen reveals the collaboration between Ariake, a Japanese furniture brand, and Parachilna, a Spanish lighting manufacturer. Ariake focuses on bringing international designers to work with local craftsmen, echoing historical approaches to knowledge transfer. Parachilna's fixtures, known for their sculptural presence, create light that adds atmosphere, aligning with Japanese interior design principles. Their combined efforts emphasize thoughtful object design for human connection and intentional living. Additionally, Gen Taniguchi’s paper sculptures further contribute to the narrative of craft knowledge and tradition within this context.
The installation features Japanese furniture brand Ariake and Spanish lighting manufacturer Parachilna, demonstrating how objects transcend their utilitarian origins to shape experiences.
Ariake's approach echoes the medieval guild system's emphasis on knowledge transfer through proximity, where international designers work directly with craftsmen.
Parachilna’s Oïphorique series creates lighting as spatial architecture, casting both light and atmosphere, embodying principles from Japanese interior design like the concept of ma.
Ariake and Parachilna design for human connection: how people gather, work, and live together, revealing how furniture and lighting support intentional living.
