Eda, Emmanuelle Moureaux

The French-born designer living in Japan has sent us beautiful pictures of her installation made of 2,000 pieces and presented at last Tokyo Designers Week.

Beauty shown by plants in the natural world.
Spreads of trees, colors of flowers, flows of leaf veins, linkages of cells.
Everything is in a systematic harmony.

In eda, forms are determined according to the natural system.
eda is assemblages of fine lines.
Each line exists straight, and large complexities contain small simplicities.

Biological forms overlap rhythmically, link air with another and create new space orders.
Meaning branch in Japanese, eda is a product which creates spaces.
Eda is a Japanese word that means branch.
