Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa who is known for his minimalist and human-centric design notion works with historic Japanese manufcturer Jakuets on the Playful Sculptures installation. This was unveiled at Milan Design Week this year, marking the first partnership between the two. The brands are deeply committed to supporting its local community by forming educational designs.
The Playful Sculptures installation transformed the gardens at the Triennale di Milano Museum into an engaging atmosphere for visitors of any age. The main focus of the installation is the Yuugu collection, which is a series of colorful sculptural objects that are made for children. What makes it stand out is the intentional lack of function that is predefined before its construction.
