JAPAN FORM
Cover image missing

JAPAN FORM is a Stockholm–based curatorial platform presenting contemporary Japanese craftsmanship in Europe. Porcelain lighting artist Hirotaka Tobimatsu creates sculptural pieces that reinterpret early 20th–century opal glass lighting through porcelain. Hand–cast and meticulously finished, each work emits a soft, diffused glow, bringing a quiet yet distinctive architectural presence to a space. JAPAN FORM is the exclusive European representative of his work.

ECHOES OF SPACE. Openhouse presents a collaborative exhibition at The Conary in partnership with Expormim, Japan Form, JOV, Mike Hausmann and Saba Italia. Design unfolds through a sequence of spaces, each shaping how it is perceived, used and felt. Mike Hausmann portrays his wooden furniture collection through the personal intimacy of a room. Expormim explores a sculptural reading of Mediterranean design with the openness of the atrium. Saba’s latest collections engage in the layered reality of an apartment, expressing organic forms through chromatic vibrations. JOV and Japan Form act as a connective thread through texture, geometry, and light. Each setting crafts a distinct state of living, revealing design through context.
