Exhibitions | TAKEO PAPER SHOW 2003 - COST:VALUE

Everyone is concerned about the relationship between cost and value

We re-examined the existence of paper from the perspective of COST:VALUE, which is the starting point for satisfaction. The cost and the value of a product are not the same. What is the real value?
The role of paper as a material ought to be found in its attractiveness and existential value in discovering the limitless potential for expression under different combinations of design and processes such as printing.
We verified once more the everday nature of paper as a material used as a medium for expression.
Under "100 YEN SHOP TAG-MATCH TAG-MUCH", we ran a TAG-MATCH, putting each creators’ sense of cost into competition.
