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.
