MIKIYA KOBAYASHI INC. as Architects

Mikiya Kobayashi creates a place to enjoy for adults and children in return for the town, customers and people who have hosted his store Taiyou no Shita in Koishikawa. Supported by Karimoku Furniture and in collaboration with Kvadrat Japan, the exhibition reveals the desire of Mikiya to do a playground project, where he could be free to design beautiful shapes, almost as functional sculptures, without having to think too much about production cost, feasibility and sales aspects which normally are part of the mass production projects.
