Kengo Kuma has revealed a stunning pair of Christmas trees crafted from timber components that will eventually be transformed into furniture. The trees, named "Kigumi" and "Komorebi," are designed for the Tokyo Edition hotels in Toranomon and Ginza. This innovative approach reflects a blend of art, sustainability, and functionality, embodying Kuma's architectural philosophy where every structure tells a story beyond its temporary existence. Having worked on projects that emphasize sustainability, I truly appreciate this dual-purpose design. It’s inspiring to see how the holiday spirit and practical design can align so seamlessly. Just think about it—each piece of wood that brings joy now, will one day bring utility into our lives as furniture! How do you feel about designs that merge artistry and functionality? Do you have examples where you've seen this beautifully executed? Kuma’s trees are made from various types of wood with the intention of being repurposed after the holiday season. This approach not only enhances sustainability but also showcases the uniqueness of each wood type, reminding us of the beauty of our natural resources. Let's celebrate the creativity in design and its potential for a sustainable future! 🎄✨ #rendimension #hugoramirezarchitect #renderings #vrtraining www.rendimension.com Full article "Kengo Kuma creates pair of Christmas trees from timber furniture components" Link: https://lnkd.in/g2ffQJjS
