DESIGN YOUR SOUVENIR ! OSAKA
We travelled to Osaka to collaborate with Anna, a ceramist and co-founder, along with Ryo, of Casa Tocoton.
We proposed a workshop divided into two parts.
In the first part, we traced the history of souvenirs from their origins to the present day to emphasise the importance of these objects that transport us back to experiences we have had. What is the future of souvenirs, or rather, what can we do to ensure that “memories” of a place remain useful, coherent and sustainable? Craftsmanship and design are fundamental to developing our souvenir models.
In the second part, we invited guests to think, draw and create their own memory object that could represent their homeland, town or special experience. It was an enriching and necessary experience for all of us.
We discover the fashinating world of Dorei, ancient and traditional Japanese amulet that brings good luck and prosperity.
