Established in Tokyo in 2021, SO KOIZUMI DESIGN engages in various fields, notably spatial and product design, showcasing Koizumi's unique thinking and experimental approach. During Milan Design Week 2024, the Japanese designer will present two works at Alcova Milano. The first, Fossilized Future, introduces a raw wooden furniture collection.
The second, SEVEN, is a sculptural wind chime based on tensegrity principles, exhibited at Villa Bagatt Valsecchi's historic underground space. Fossilized Future speculates on contemporary resources' fossilized forms, using materials like wood from diseased forests and local soil-like materials. Crafted from brass, SEVEN embodies societal balance and instability, producing harmonious tones when swayed by the wind. This project required precise technical skills involving artisans from seven Takaoka City factories.
So Koizumi Design 於2021年在東京成立，涉足多個領域，尤其是空間和產品設計，展示了小泉獨特的思維和實驗性方法。 2024年米蘭設計週期間，這位日本設計師將在Alcova Milano展出兩件作品。第一件是化石化的未來，一個原木家具系列。
第二件是基於張拉整體原理的雕塑風鈴SEVEN，在Villa Bagatti Valsecchi的歷史地下空間展出。化石化的未來探討當代資源的化石化形式，使用如病倒森林的木材和當地的類土材料。 SEVEN完全由黃銅製成，體現了社會的平衡與不穩定，在風的作用下發出和諧的聲音。該項目需要精湛的技術，由七家高岡市工廠的工匠完成。
So Koizumi Design
In 2021, Tokyo-based designer So Koizumi founded his studio, drawing on his spatial and product design expertise to challenge conventional practices. His innovative style, sparked by his visit to the renovated Neues Museum in Berlin, reflects a fusion of history and modernity. This philosophy is evident in his Fossilized Future collection, which debuted at Milan Design Week 2024.
The collection features rustic furniture that imagines the fossilization of contemporary materials, serving as a narrative bridge between the past, present, and future. Koizumi emphasizes storytelling through his designs, encouraging a perception of everyday objects as potential historical artefacts that embody and communicate societal issues.
2021年，東京設計師小泉壯成立了他的工作室，利用他在空間和產品設計方面的專業知識挑戰傳統做法。他的創新風格由他訪問翻新後的柏林新博物館激發，體現了歷史與現代性的融合。這種哲學在他在2024年米蘭設計週首次亮相的「化石未來」系列中表現得淋漓盡致。
系列包括想像當代材料化石化的質樸家具，作為過去、現在和未來之間的敘事橋樑。小泉強調透過他的設計講故事，鼓勵人們將日常物品視為可能的歷史文物，體現並傳達社會問題。
