{From one undulating ceiling to another: this time in a gorgeous art supply store in Japan by architect Kengo Kuma, whose work I’ve posted before.} But what’s an arts supply store without a beautiful frame of its own? The stunning interior is the work of architect Kengo Kuma, who has paneled the ceiling with an organic, undulating design comprised of bamboo slats. The multitude of lines visually reference the paintbrush handles while creating a home for equally plentiful art supplies. But what makes Pigment different is how it positions itself as hub for artists and a repository for knowledge and tradition to be passed on to younger generations. The store retains expert professionals with fancy PhDs that hold workshops on how to use their materials. By combining shop + lab + museum Pigment, which is operated by an art warehouse and storage company, attempts to connect the past with the present. via -- source link
