in commemoration of yahama design laboratory’s 50th anniversary, japanese studio takt project have created the ‘design recipe’ installation. held during tokyo design week at the axis gallery, the exhibition celebrates the well known instrument company’s unique design philosophy. displaying a wide range of hanging products and instruments, the work was based on ‘design for players. not for consumers or users’. cropped stages express the performance nature of the installation with people able to see this creative flair in the space. visitors are welcomed to interact with these areas, becoming performers themselves. this idea further represents the yahama philosophy of ‘design from both players and the audience’s viewpoint’, turning the whole exhibition into one stage.
