Architectural Spaces With Washi - Erico Horiki

Engaging both the skills of craftspeople and their century old methods, along with advanced papermaking technologies, Washi - a traditional Japanese paper - is an art form in its own right. Designer Eriko Horiki, utilizes and adapts the paper, playing with surfaces texture and light, to create large scale installation pieces, interior walls and partitions. Here a collection of her works created for restaurants, churches, museums and private clients are presented, accompanied along with an examination of the manufacturing techniques used, and an interview with the designer.
