Watercolour 07 (Prototype) ²⁰¹⁸

Design studio nendo was founded by the Japanese designer Oki Sato. This work is part of the Watercolour Collection, an 18-piece furniture series inspired by the effect of watercolours on paper.
The furniture is metal, but the designer wanted to make it seem as though the objects were cut and folded from paper by hand. Watercolour 07 consists of ellipses resting on slender legs. The lightness of touch and perfection of execution are characteristic of nendo’s work.
