continuous winding display presents nendo's tableware collection in tokyo

first presented inside the japan pavilion during expo milano 2015, nendo‘s traveling exhibition ‘colourful shadows’ has been relocated and displayed at the ‘eye of gyre’ art gallery in omotesando, tokyo.

the exhibition sees the gallery segmented into a series of dark and compact spaces. in order to subtly connect each room, visitors are taken on a journey to follow a white table, which meanders and curves its way through the white-walled space, while displaying the array of black tableware. to emphasize the feeling of weightlessness, the table measures at a thickness of only three millimeters. its delicate character is supported by a limited number of legs; leaning on the wall and columns for added support.
