Space BD Inc.’s Post

We're excited to announce "Sorabana" - a groundbreaking collaboration between Space BD, renowned architect Kengo Kuma & Associates, and Gyokusendo, the historic tsuiki copperware studio preserving one of Japan's most remarkable metalworking traditions! 🚀✨ Four copper plates crafted by Gyokusendo's master artisans spent three months aboard the ISS, exposed to cosmic rays and ultraviolet radiation. Upon their return to Earth, they were transformed into a stunning artwork under Kengo Kuma's supervision, capturing the mystery of space through their uniquely altered surfaces. This one-of-a-kind piece represents a fascinating intersection of centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship - where every hammer strike is performed with precision to shape the copper - with cutting-edge space exploration. One lucky winner will have the chance to acquire it through a special New Year's lottery at Tamagawa Takashimaya in 2025. We're proud to continue pushing the boundaries of space utilization while creating new value through unexpected collaborations. https://lnkd.in/gZFZm5Fz #SpaceBD #JapaneseCraft #KengoKuma #Gyokusendo
