"The Paper Log: Shell and Core exhibition showcases compressed rolls of wafer-thin paper, a byproduct of garment production, that resemble tree trunks and symbolize growth and memory."
"Kondo's observation of the paper rolls during a factory visit led to a poetic concept, where each layer of the Paper Log carries the memory of every garment made."
"The collaboration with Ensamble Studio resulted in two distinct bodies of work, treating the paper log as a sculptural material and challenging traditional notions of waste in fashion."
Satoshi Kondo, a design director at MIYAKE DESIGN STUDIO, created The Paper Log: Shell and Core exhibition, showcasing compressed paper rolls from garment production. These rolls resemble tree trunks, symbolizing growth and memory. The exhibition, part of Milan Design Week 2026, challenges perceptions of waste in fashion. Kondo collaborated with Ensamble Studio to explore the sculptural potential of the paper, emphasizing the beauty in discarded materials and encouraging a reevaluation of mundane processes in the industry.
