1.“Much Peace, Love and Joy”
By special letterpress printing, inimitable gradations are printed with vivid colors, and the printed matter is then hand-tore into pieces all with its unique shape. The work is then composed by accumulating a huge number of those pieces. The accumulation of gradient fragments is a metaphor for existence, situations, and perspectives. It arouses energy and imagination for the future when viewers visualize their own sto-nes, lands, drift ice, lives, and souls.
2.“Mesh Virus-Control Flag Partition”
A new item to color the space by fusing the joy of colors and the new virus-suppressing technology. The use of polyester mesh is adopted- it’s also used as a filter in the medical field. With the attachment of nanoparticles produced in a new technology that can suppress viruses and bacteria by 99.9%, it helps to sanitize and prevent droplet infection. The vitality of colors fills the space with joy and creates a new life-style for easy but safe communication.
Spread is a Tokyo-based creative unit founded by Haruna Yamada and Hirokazu Kobayashi. Characterized by their use of color, they fuse the long-sighted environmental approach of landscape design with vivid graphic techniques, incorporating memory into their work as they strive to expand (“spread”) every subject they engage with.
