exhibition information: DESIGN MEET YOU @ONE FUKUOKA BLDG.
As part of the citywide design event “DESIGN WEEKEND FUKUOKA VOL.0,” taking place across five venues in Fukuoka City from May 28–31, Futatsumata will participate in the exhibition “DESIGN MEETS YOU” held at ONE FUKUOKA BLDG.
During the exhibition, GO released by E&Y, SAND by Tendo Mokko, and the table lamp HALF currently available through Lynnbelys will be on display.
Below is an excerpt from the official release.
Under the concept “MEETS DIFFERENT IDEAS,” ONE FUKUOKA BLDG. will host an exhibition centered around five designers and furniture brands based in Fukuoka and Kyushu, whose activities extend both throughout Japan and internationally.
Behind each furniture piece and product lies a continuous intersection of diverse elements — ideas drawn from everyday life, materials, techniques, questions, people, and moments of chance. Through the products born from these ongoing encounters, the exhibition hopes visitors will experience moments of inspiration and subtle stimulation.
