KASANE

DESIGNART TOKYO 2020 "knit series" created from natural gradations from tree bark assembled on the pannel and hightened by gilding magical work by Manuela Paul-Cavallier https://design-anthology.com/story/designart-tokyo-2020

~ Japanese traditional material meets European gilding art ~ Manuela Paul-Cavallier is an established artist in Paris whose work is shown in galleries throughout the world. KAANE is a special wall decoration inspired by Japanese traditional roofing technique. Come and see the delicate alchemy of our special collaboration for Maison &Objets.

kasane is a sustainable wall decoration panel. We use the bark of Japanese cypress trees which are over 80 years old without cutting them down. We only peel off the outer layer of the bark which grows back, so we can harvest it again, about every 10 years. Our company makes roofs for traditional buildings in Japan. Kasane panels are made using the same techniques.
