Takeda Katsuya Design: Poesia Senza Parole
With Poesia Senza Parole, Takeda Katsuya Design presented an immersive and silent narrative of Japanese culture, unfolding through the evolution of the Brace collection.
Developed around the chaban—a traditional tea table reinterpreted as a contemporary object—the project expanded its ritual origin into a broader aesthetic and spatial experience. Through collaboration with Yukiharu Fukushima (wagashi), Shigeo Fujita (dry bonsai), and Takako Iida (painting), the installation became a layered environment where craft, nature, and gesture coexisted.
At its core, Brace was defined by the Japanese principle of shikuchi, a precise wooden joinery system that celebrates structure as visible language. Crafted in hinoki wood, the system evolved into a modular architecture that adapted and transformed over time.
The exhibition concluded in the intimate atelier of Takako Iida, where painting, material, and atmosphere extended the narrative into a quiet, contemplative space.
