saki takeshita's wooden chairs shift hues when blown with hot air at DESIGNART tokyo 2024
Briefly

Saki Takeshita's approach embraces natural processes, with her eeyo chairs showcasing vibrant color transformations achieved solely through heat application on dyed balsa wood.
The use of balsa wood, noted for its lightness, combined with innovative heating techniques allows Saki to create striking, graphic patterns that preserve the wood's natural aesthetics.
Since 2022, Takeshita has evolved her designs, transitioning from muted hues to more vibrant gradients, reflecting her commitment to showcasing material reaction and transformation.
Visitors to DESIGNART Tokyo 2024 can observe the artistic interplay between color and texture in Takeshita's work, representing a unique fusion of craft and natural science.
