鋳物 水栓金物(個人邸) Imono Suisen-kanamono(Kojin-tei) Faucet Metalwork (for a private residence)
|
The water-faucet metalwork here were customized for the Japanese-style room of a private residence in Kamakura. They have been made to suit Japanese-style rooms. The architect asked Ubushina whether an original finish could be applied to the ready-made fixtures in this room and Ubushina suggested a traditional coloring technique for metalwork such as the faucets, piping and towel-rack.
Usually, water faucets are chrome-plated, but it was possible to remake them to suit this room. It is only by adding a little Japanese technique to foreign objects not made in a Japanese-style, that they can be identified with a traditional Japanese space; at the same time, a new direction is revealed for a Japanese-style room where you spend time ‘now’.
By using a sulfide coloring, ‘the West’ has been pulled into Japan and a pleasing atmosphere has been developed.
