Aoyama MIHONCHO Showcase "AOYAMA CREATORS STOCK 08: Akiko Sekimoto—PAPER POCKET"
From paper to creation—
In design work, you witness the process through which paper material
transforms into a creation or product through the application of various methods.
Paper has so many possibilities, and witnessing the process of transformation can reveal attractive new forms.
I wanted to create something that retained the forms that the process revealed. (Akiko Sekimoto)
