The idea behind the crafts installation – designed by Copenhagen-based OEO Studio – is to curate a sacred space dedicated to reading, the Japanese tea ceremony and meditation as well as socialising with friends and family.
The result is a modern interpretation of the traditional Japanese ritual space, touching on wabisabi (the beauty of imperfection) and the tactile sensibilities of Zen.
The installation – crafted using a simple and refined metal structure complemented by solid wood flooring in heart oak and oak shelving from Dinesen – presents new objects made by the six crafts companies – the majority of which have been designed by OEO Studio. These objects come in a mix of materials, such as wood, ceramics, textile, bamboo and metal.
