静岡挽物の伝統から生まれたオブジェ「NEWTONS」。家具のつまみや雛道具のような繊細な加工を得意とする静岡挽物の特長を活かし、職人・岸本真紀の持つ確かな設計力と技術力で、ネオジウム磁石を挽物の中に仕込みました。立ったり、ぶら下がったり、支えあったり、揺れたり。異なる回転体が連なる様は、実に不安定で曖昧です。N極とS極という一つの秩序の中で、偶然と必然が自由な造形を創りだしてくれます。

Objets born from the tradition of Shizuoka turnery – “NEWTONS”.
Exploiting the distinct Shizuoka turnery specialization in the machining of delicate articles such as little knobs for furniture and doll tools, the craftsman Masaki Kishimoto has utilized his design and technical skills to place neodymium magnets inside these objets, enabling them to stand, hang, be supported, and sway. The connections between the various parts are unstable and ambiguous. Within the order created by the north and south poles of the magnets, coincidence and necessity create a free form.
