香川県高松市で庵治石を用いたプロダクトを職人とともに開発するAJI PROJECTは、国内外10名のデザイナーと「OMORI」をテーマに開発した新作を発表します。
“重さ”を意味する”OMORI”は、石の最も基本的な特性だと言えます。このコンセプトからインスピレーションを得たデザイナーたちが生み出した、石の概念を広げてくれるコレクションを展示します。私たちは、単に石から製品をつくるのではなく、石という素材に新たな役割や意味を与える方法を模索しています。
合わせて、庵治石の製造工程で出る端材に新たな役割と意義を与える「READY MADE」コレクションも展示します。
ぜひ、会場に足を運び、石の重みとともに、石に対する固定観念を揺らすデザイナーたちの軽やかなアイデアに触れてください。

AJI PROJECT develops products from local Aji stone in collaboration with artisans in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. Under the title “OMORI,” AJI PROJECT will present new objects developed with 10 designers from Japan and abroad.
“OMORI,” meaning “weight,” refers to what can be considered the most fundamental property of stone. Inspired by this concept, the designers created objects that expand the conventional notion of stone. Rather than simply making products from stone, they explore ways to give the material new functions and meanings.
Additionally, the exhibition will feature the “READY MADE” collection, which repurposes and recontextualizes offcuts from Aji stone production, giving them new roles and significance.
We invite you to visit the exhibition and experience the weight of stones while engaging with the designers’ light and innovative ideas that challenge and shake conventional perceptions of stone.
