Description: Welcome to Mew's Sanctum 💫🔭Items found in this shoppe are from my personal collection, offering little treasures I've procured over the years, including an extensive card collection. Some items you discover here are exclusive, and are unlikely to be found anywhere else in the world. This listing:VAVA Collaboration /w Kengo Kuma - Caribou CL0013 - #46 of 100 Description:Model CL0013 is a tribute to the traditional Japanese wooden building technique – 'Kigumi'. These techniques have been explored in depth by Kuma for his wooden (or mixed) structures, which arise from a simple pattern of assembly and, through different intersections and angles, generate a complex whole. Model CL0013 is 3D printed with the use of a natural high-quality polyamide (Rilsan® Invent by Arkema) made from a 100% renewable source (castor seeds). The castor beans used to produce oil for the material is sourced from a cooperative of certified farmers in Gujarat, India. The 3D printing technology allows the adoption of complex eyewear designs and extraordinary freedom for advanced functional and stylistic features, while using the minimum material required.

He is one of the most significant Japanese figures in contemporary architecture, and the creator of numerous works which include the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center in Tokyo and the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum.
