Special Exhibition 「The Paper Log: Membrane and Core — A collaborative project between Issey Miyake and Ensemble Studio」 At 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT (Gallery 3), the special exhibition 「The Paper Log: Membrane and Core — A collaborative project between Issey Miyake and Ensemble Studio」 is being held. This exhibition is a project that explores new value in the by-product “Paper Log” generated during Issey Miyake’s pleating process. Conceived by Satoshi Kondo of MIYAKE DESIGN STUDIO, a collaboration with the Spanish architectural unit “Ensemble Studio” has been realized. Inspired by the beautiful, tree-ring-like cross-sections of the Paper Log, an experimental and highly creative approach is being developed. Highlights of the Exhibition A dialog between “Membrane” and “Core” Membrane (Shell) — Ensemble Studio: By peeling off the layers of the Paper Log one by one, three-dimensional works imbued with the memory of the material are created. Core (Core) — ISSEY MIYAKE: Focusing on the structure of the log’s core, furniture prototypes are produced through experiments such as wax impregnation and adhesive penetration. An exhibition configuration premiering in Japan The project presented in Milan in April 2026 has been reconfigured to suit the space of Gallery 3. Together with newly crafted display fixtures, the works can be appreciated from closer proximity. A documentary tracing the production process At the venue, not only the works but also a documentary film capturing the research, experiments, and production journey of both teams is being screened.
