About the Item

Polysemy_Silver by So Koizumi Dimensions: W 56.5 x D 25 x H 35 cm Materials: Stainless steel. Weight: 11 Kg. “Polysemy”, an object that can be placed in different ways from one shape to combine various functions such as a book-shelf or side table. ‘Polysemy’, a design concept embodying the essence of ' one thing has many meanings.'While conventional objects typically serve a singular function, like a chair for seating or a desk for work, ‘Polysemy’ breaks this mold. It is a versatile object that, from a single shape, can be arranged in various ways to fulfill diverse functions, such as transforming into a bookshelf or a side table. Unlike traditional designs that limit functionality, ‘Polysemy’ adapts to different spaces and situations, offering users the freedom to utilize it in numerous ways. By viewing fossils not as relics of the past but as metaphors linking the past and future, he considers that things created in the present will eventually shape the future. Therefore, these furniture works are made from materials generated in our contemporary daily life, such as wood from nearby forests felled due to oak wilt disease and soil-like materials found in the surrounding area. These materials include not only minerals and charcoal that are components of the soil, but also natural materials discarded daily such as rice husks, leftover coffee grounds, and vegetable peels, serve as traces of everyday life. He developed and experimented with these materials to create a unique material that could be considered as the ‘contemporary soil’. These large blocks made from these materials are created by the designer and cut by a chainsaw. This process resembles excavating fossils buried in the soil, and the discoveries of the exposed cross-sections are preserved as they are.
