オリガミメタル
ZIZAIは高岡の誇る鋳物会社、株式会社能作とのプロジェクトです。まるでオリガミみたいに簡単に手でまがり、その表情を変えるのがこの100%錫をつかった能作さんの製品の特徴です。いくつかの試作のあと、パリにある何百年も前の門扉をモチーフにした曲がるブレスレットをつくったり、日本の麻の葉のモチーフでアクセラリーをつくったものです。
アクセサリーにすると、不思議と冷たくなく、すぐに肌温度になり、人体になじむのもこの素材のいいところです。プロジェクトではクルミをよばれる、道路の側溝のようなフラットな形を手で軽く曲げるうちに、ボウルになったり、お皿になるものを作っています。花をいける錫の特徴である、水を活性化する力で、長く花が咲き続けます。この一輪材もつくった試作の一つでした。
