SOAP Object
Glass Object
Focusing on Coincidence
About 4000 years ago, it is said that glass was born when sand grains and plant ash coincidentally combined in a fire lit by the Sumerians on a beach. Also, soap, born from animal and plant fats and soda ash that accumulated in rivers over long periods of time, has been used in people's daily lives since ancient Roman times.
Despite being born in different places and eras, both glass and soap have transformed their forms starting from fire and sand, and water.
Remaining / Disappearing
SOAP objects were born from focusing on the process of change that these two materials have undergone. Glass that hardens and fixes, and soap that melts, loses its form, and eventually disappears. Materials with contrasting properties meet as a single form. SOAP objects take this moment as their theme.
Textures to Enjoy Traces
SOAP focuses not on fixed forms, but on the process of change itself. Gently capturing the slight fluctuations remaining on the surface and the layers of delicate texture. Rolling them around in your palm, or placing them alongside bookshelves. These are objects for confirming in your hands the possibilities of things that leave no traces, born by coincidence in distant times and places.
