TORAFU Architects Exhibit
Architecture and art come together as Japanese collective TORAFU Architects bring beauty to everyday, mundane objects.
Overview
Tucked away above a dusty fabric shop on Sydney road, Brunswick, lies the Mr Kitly shop and gallery. Catering to the artful homemaker, the space is serene and full of natural light — a quiet haven in the midst of surrounding chaos.
From February 8, Mr Kitly plays host to the work of a group of Japanese masters of design — the TORAFU Architects. The exhibition features designs by Koichi Suzuno and Shinya Kamuro, who offer up an assortment of furniture, block and magnet sets, and the intriguing air vase.
The TORAFU designs are minimalist and playful at once, with their use of clean lines, basic shapes, and bright colours working to inspire one's inner child. This is the first time these designs have been displayed in Australia, and they will remain so only until February 24. Catch them while you can.
