Following a successful launch during the Dutch Design Week, Copy Nature will be featured in a dedicated exhibition at De Krabbedans, Eindhoven, between February 12th and April 11th 2010.

Copy Nature / The Nature of Copies is a project initiated by Max Lipsey who gathered 12 different designers who were given the chance to experiment with metal casting at the Beeldenstorm metal casting workshop, TU terrain, Eindhoven.  Boaz & Sayaka were happy to be two of the invited designers and worked on two individual projects;

Copy Copy Nature by Sayaka plastic fruits and vegetables have been cut into pieces and then fused together  into new compositions, creating ‘new species’. Cast in bronze and then carefully polished, the new objects turn into small precious containers.
This work  comments on the possible loss or mutation of the original through cycles of copies, imitation and reproduction.

Wrapped Candlestick by Boaz  is the first result of experiments with the casting of wrapping materials in bronze. Wrapping materials are usually soft, light and supposed to protect fragile objects.  By transforming those materials  into metal, the wrapping material becomes the object itself. To be continued..!
