Nendo: forms of movement

Movement is the great protagonist for Nendo, one of the most accomplished design studios, by now a settled presence at Superdesign Show. This year, they present ten concepts-objects created in collaboration with Japanese companies, who use special materials and futuristic technologies. From Blanc Bijou to Daikin Industries, from Inac to Micro Technology, to Takeo, Wakazono, X’S, YKK.

The sense of movement emerges in each object, through its function rather than from the manufacturing process. Just like the five zips that reinvent the zip structure or the tables in which lines and surface don't look homogeneous due to polishing type. Moreover, the hourglass that measure time in many forms. Or the special-cut aluminium vase that looks different depending on how you look at it.

Some objects draw attention to the production process, like the tiles that model through a manual pressure. Not only the products are on exhibition, but also models, mockups and explanations of the various manufacturing phases.
