Exhibition information: Digging through E&Y@ATAKA
The exhibition “Digging through E&Y|Vol. 2: Koichi Futamata” will be held at the gallery of Osaka-based jewelry label ATAKA.
The following is a quote from the E&Y release.
*********
“Digging through E&Y|Vol. 2: Koichi Futamata” will be held at ATAKA from August 5 to 13, 2023.
This exhibition explores Koichi Futamata’s interest in function and formative beauty, which has led him to work on a wide range of designs from architecture to products. In addition to works from E&Y’s collection, such as “No.8” and “GO,” the exhibition will also showcase some of his influences, such as the “Latonda Chair” by Swiss architect Mario Botta, which Futamata says was inspired by his formative work.
During the exhibition, some of the works will be available for order at the ATAKA venue and online store from August 5 to August 23.
We hope you will visit the exhibition to experience the unique beauty of his works and the charm of his sensibility.
