Sketches, design ideas and thoughts by Satoshi Nakamura

DMY Berlin 2010 [Crafts]



There were many objects following the idea of "craftsmanship", old and new. Huge installation/ structure was made using a massive amount of common household packing tape and a lot of man-power. Old manufacturing methods created a unique piece, reminding us of the warmth of hand made pieces, while advances in 3D printing, lazer cutting, and material knowledge created a new kind of craftsmanship, giving the designers more freedom to expression.

The act of design goes hand in hand with manufacturing methods, that new processes opens new ideas and into new products. I feel that designers should understand and explore these possibilities more, so that the eventual product has the correct feeling, not something that looks like the idea.

様々なモノが新旧の「職人技」の様なアイディアで造られていました。大きなインスタレーション・構造物が、大量のセロテープと時間を費やして造られていたり、昔ながらの工法で手作りの一点物の暖かさを再認識させ、新たな「職人技」と呼べるような三次元印刷、レーザー切削、素材の技術の発展がデザイナーに表現の自由を与えていました。

デザインという作業は、工法と密接につながっています。新しいプロセスは新しいアイディアを生み、新しいプロダクトへと変わって行きます。デザイナーは、最終的なプロダクトがただ見た目が似ているモノではなく、感覚的に正しい物になるよう、もっと工法を理解し、調べるべきだと思います。
