Design Talk with Tomoko AZUMI
6 December 2018, London
Join us for a talk and conversation with multi-talented Japanese furniture, product and interior designer Tomoko AZUMI, founder of the East London based TNA Design Studio.
Azumi discusses the inspiration behind a number of her innovative designs and projects including ‘The Geometrist’, a paper DIY Kit which can be used to create complex and beautiful polyhedra from simple folded strips of paper and glue, and which features in a new pop-up installation at Japan House.
The talk is followed by a sake reception supported by Sake Samurai. During the evening there is also an opportunity to participate in a special drop-in ‘The Geometrist’ workshop led by Tomoko Azumi and her team in the Japan House Library from 19:30-21:00.
The Geometrist DIY paper kit is essential for workshop participation and can be purchased from The Shop at Japan House on the day; other decorative materials are provided. Please note that capacity in the Library is limited, so entry to the workshop is on a first-come first-served basis.
