Peace Kitchen / “MAXXI” in Rome

An installation that appeared at Milan's "Japan Night" and the Maxxi modern art gallery in Rome,
by Peace Kitchen, which aims to bring peace to the world through Japanese culinary culture.
We were responsible for the design of the monument,
which sensed and measured the emotions of attendees and lit up in response, and the table.
We blended visuals which took their inspiration from things like dry landscape gardens
and family crests with advanced technology, aiming to create a new kind of "joyful dining room."

和食文化を通じて世界を平和にする「Peace Kitchien」が、
ミラノ「JAPAN NIGHT」、ローマの現代美術館「MAXXI」で行ったインスタレーション。
来場者の感情を感知・計測して光るモニュメント及びテーブルのデザインを担当。
枯山水や家紋などにインスピレーションを受けたビジュアルと先進技術を融合させ、
新しい “幸福な食卓空間” を目指した。
