Joining | By linking together polyethylene material which has become a part of everyday lives, we can rethink its characteristics and background and discover new purposes for the future.

"Heart Pound CHRISTMAS"

The extraordinary atmosphere of Christmas is represented as a cosmic landscape, as a world unknown to us. The installations and objet d'art displayed in the venue are made to resemble the birth, growth and harmony of the universe. They are also metaphors for those moments your heart fills with surprise or the feeling of discovering a new brand that comes with the Christmas season.

World Financial Center "TALK TO THE NEXT" in Beijing
"IRODORI"

Date | 8.16 (Thu.) - 8.30 (Thu.), 2018
Venue | World Financial Center
Address | No.1 East 3rd Ring Middle Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing
Official | http://www.bjwfc.com.cn/en/index.asp
The project supported Orbis Kids Sight Programs in Mainland China | http://campaigns.orbis.org/kidsfriends/en/index.html

We believe the Japanese word IRODORI not only refers to the balance of colors, but has a deeper meaning that symbolizes age old culture that has taken root and has survived from generations past.
In this installation, we imagined our diverse world of IRODORI and represented a powerful burst of life energy from the center outwards. In life, small particles of energy spread into the vast world which then intertwine with nature and the atmosphere, making way for connections to the next generation. This work is a visual representation of this magnificent process.

ASAHIKAWA DESIGN WEEK 2018
"Hito to Mori"

In this work, we wanted to create a story about the relationship between “past and future” and “people and forest” that is present in Asahikawa. The story has three parts: The culture and customs of Asahikawa, the coexistence of people and the forest, and the metaphor that represents the birth of Asahikawa Furniture. Snow, forest, and people, which are the symbols of Asahikawa intermingle to create a cohesive shining mass. We hope you can feel the light that Asahikawa Furniture shines into the world.
Harmony | The snowmelt seeping into the land is a representation of the harmony created through the nature and people of Asahikawa (Photo 1).
Hito to Mori | The symbols of Asahikawa—snow, forest, people—each shine in their own way and come together to form a magnificent light (Photo 2).

Central Embassy in Thailand
"Forward" OPEN HOUSE × DAISY BALLOON

Forward | We wanted to express a powerful vector aimed toward the future, which was something we felt when we visited Thailand. We focused on the individual life force, which becomes the force that moves an enormous societal system. From a microscopic perspective, this abundant energy that flows all throughout society may seem like independent bodies moving aimlessly, but we believe they are life forms existing within the vast backdrop of Thai culture. We, daisy balloon, believe that people exist as people/individuals while at the same time representing society/the greater whole. Our work is a representation of this idea where humans take on life and go through initiations at each life stage: birth, growth, chance encounters, cooperation, and creation.

by Asami Kiyakawa × DAISY BALLOON

We represent the imaginary dream world of a young girl, based on the theme of "Dreaming for Christmas." The brightness that bursts from the core (symbolizing light), and the transparent spiral that wraps it (symbolizing consciousness) are the layers that form the girl's dream.

DAIKANYAMA T-SITE
“Green Christmas”

Daikanyama Tsutaya Books (T-SITE) is celebrating their fifth anniversary with their largest Christmas light-up event ever. The world created by plant-hunter, Seijun Nishihata, is infused with balloon art by Daisy Balloon and the works of sculptor Kohei Nawa’s SANDWICH, to create a dreamlike scenery.
The snow-cell illustrates the relationship between plants and life. The white cells cling to the stems and foliage and also resemble snow fallen upon a forest. Walk through the forest and see the snow-cells come together, writhing about and growing like a huge living creature.

A new cultural movement is brought to life in this concept devised by Hideki Noda in which a diverse group of artists come together to create new forms of expression through cultural exchange. This is the leading project of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics & Paralympics culture program. It all started with Tokyo Caravan in RIO held during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, which then took form on the other side of the world, namely Miyagi and Fukushima, as Tokyo Caravan in TOKYO, which then fused with the performances from the local workshops to become Tokyo Caravan Prologue 2015 and further evolved into Tokyo Caravan 2016, which was unveiled at Roppongi Art Night.
