Emergence of Form

AGCは、毎年4月にイタリア・ミラノで開催される世界最大規模のデザインの祭典「ミラノデザインウィーク」に出展しています。2019年は、Product Design Center(鈴木啓太)がデザイナーとしてインスタレーション「Emergence of Form」を披露しました。建築や自動車、電子機器、食器など、多くの用途でニーズの高いガラスの三次元曲面成形加工技術と、100年以上にわたり積み重ねたセラミックス技術により開発した3Dプリンター用造形材“Brightorb®”(ブライトーブ)にフォーカスし、インスタレーションの設計を行いました。

AGC exhibits at Milan Design Week, the world's largest design festival held every April in Milan, Italy. 2019, Product Design Center (Keita Suzuki) presented the installation "Emergence of Form" as a designer The exhibition is a unique and unique experience for the designers of the world's largest design festival. Focusing on the "Brightorb®" 3D printer molding material developed with the 3D curved surface molding technology of glass, which is highly demanded in many applications such as architecture, automobiles, electronics, and tableware, and the ceramics technology accumulated for over 100 years, the installation design focused on the "Brightorb®" 3D printer molding material, which is used to create 3D objects. The installation was designed with a focus on "Brightorb®", a 3D printer molding material developed with our ceramics technology, which has been accumulated for over 100 years.

ガラスとセラミックス。異なる2つの素材を用いて、常にうつろう自然の美しさを表現した空間を作りました。ガラスの三次元曲面成形やセラミックスの3Dプリンティングといった、AGC独自の先端技術によって作り上げられたインスタレーションは時々刻々と姿を変え続ける複雑な自然現象の一瞬を切り取ったものです。

本来であれば静止するはずのない自然の風景は、しかし、静止しているからこそ、だれしもが見たことのある原風景を思い起こさせます。精緻な素材と高度な技術によって、ながれゆく動きのなかに自然の情緒を閉じ込めました。人工物によってかたちづくられた「自然」を通じて、AGCが拓く、新たな可能性を感じてみてください。

Glass and ceramics. Using these two different materials, AGC created a space that expresses the ever-changing beauty of nature. The installation, created with AGC's proprietary advanced technologies such as three-dimensional curved surface molding of glass and 3D printing of ceramics, captures a moment in time of complex natural phenomena that change their appearance from moment to moment.

The natural landscapes, which would not normally be stationary, remind us of the original landscapes we have all seen before. Using exquisite materials and advanced techniques, we have captured the emotion of nature in flowing motion. Please feel the new possibilities that AGC is opening up through "nature" shaped by man-made objects.
