Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron created a reading space installation at Tokyo's SKWAT art centre for the Capsule Plaza Tokyo design event. The installation featured custom-designed furniture including stools described as sitting at the 'crossroad between analogue and digital', along with floor lamps and books. The exhibition was hosted within book distributor Twelvebooks' shoppable warehouse, creating an immersive environment where visitors could sit and engage with the space. The project represents a fusion of architectural design, furniture creation, and experiential art installation in a commercial-retail context.
