In this project, 15 groups of creators, including architects, designers, and artists such as Tadao Ando and Naoto Fukasawa, participated based on the Artek designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933. One-of-a-kind works modified from their respective perspectives are exhibited. By facing the common product , modifying the materials, reinterpreting the structure, or shifting the perspective, pieces with a different expression for each stool are born. Regarding a completed masterpiece, what is inherited, where is it modified, and where is it left untouched? The accumulation of these judgments appears as a different expression for each stool.
The venue is MAARKET, a place where people and design meet
At MAARKET, the venue, anyone can visit without a reservation and casually view the works. Additionally, you can leisurely view other furniture in the space unique to a retail store.
MAARKET is a retail store that offers a selection of furniture and products from domestic and international brands, mainly from Europe, under the concept of 'Market = a place where people and design meet.'
The interior, designed by Interoffice's design team, Interoffice Design Studio, is a space like a design museum focusing on each product individually.
Furthermore, a store for the Danish furniture brand Muuto is also set up inside the shop, allowing you to experience the charm of design along with perspectives on styling proposals and coordination.
