DIESEL DENIM GALLERY AOYAMA presents the installation "Labyrinth of Woods" by a unique architect Ben Nagaoka and his unit POINT who create individual environment as inner landscape fusing furniture and space conceptually.
Nagaoka established architectural firm "POINT" in 1999 and their work of huge wood furnishing interior Kaetsu Canyon entered the limelight in 2007. POINT has won JCD(Japanese Society of Commercial Space Designers) gold prize two years in a row, for a jewelry shop MUSVI (2008) and Yamakoya, and a small lounge for a library of elementary school (2009). Considering spatial design as media, Nagaoka and his POINT create comfortable and enjoyable environment for the users.
Concept by the architect
DIESEL has turned jeans (denim) from daily and ordinary work clothes into fashionable and desirable item by adding the extra creative touch; in a similar manner, we will be creating an "extra-ordinary" shop space where the visitors gravitate deep into the shop from enthusiasm, by using very ordinary material, plywood.
“Labyrinth of Woods” consists of the columns of plywood standing close together randomly. The columns widen as they reach the ceiling and be connected each other to enhance their height and create various spaces.
Instead, closer to the ground level, they are transforming themselves to a table-shaped furniture. In addition, some other extra touches, “holes like stitches” and “mirror panels”, create pleasant space with the sense of fun.
