A collaboration between Caesarstone and Nendo, has resulted in the Japanese design studio creating an exclusive installation with the Caesarstone’s surface materials.
The Stone Garden installation of ‘table-like’ surfaces clustered together to form a seemingly floating landscape was unveiled at the 2013 Interior Design Show (IDS 2013) in Toronto Canada by the International Guest of Honour, Oki Sato, founder and chief designer of Nendo.
Oki Sato has been named by Fast Company as one of the brightest talents in a new generation of Japanese minimalist designers.
The simplicity of the Stone Garden’s design reflects the minimalistic style that Nendo is known for, while exhibiting the quality, functionality and creativity of Caesarstone surfaces.
The tables, which are carried by a simple metal rod, are secured into place by an overlapping design, thus eliminating the use of fasteners to hold them into place.
“The installation explores the boundary between ‘furniture’ and ‘non-furniture’. Tables that aren’t quite tables form a cluster, creating a new kind of ground surface like a garden floating in the universe, far beyond the scale of individual tables,” said Oki Sato.
“The unique variety and quality of natural colours and textures of the Caesarstone surfaces are perfect to be arranged in a composition like the stylized landscape of a Japanese rock garden.”
