Philippe Starck / Satoshi Yoshiizumi（TAKT PROJECT ）
In the Italian version of the French mode / fashion magazine L'OFFICIEL which was launched in 1921,introduces the whole activities of TAKT PROJECT with Philippe Starck one of the most famous designer all over the world.
The article focuses on cross-genre our activities such as crafts, self-driven research project, and designs related to cutting-edge technology.
Thank you to L'OFFICIEL's Italian version.
We hope you will enjoy it!
何らかのミラクルが起こったとしか思えないこの記事も、先日のミラノ滞在時に、ちゃんと販売されてました。なんでこんな光栄すぎる並びになっているのか、、、不思議な気分です。10年後にくらいにみて恥ずかしくならないように活動していきたいです。
1921年に創刊されたフランスのモード/ファッション誌L’OFFICIELイタリア版にて、世界的デザイナーPhilippe Starckと対比する形で、TAKT PROJECTのこれまでの活動をご紹介頂いております。 工芸から、自主的な研究作品、最先端テクノロジーにまつわるデザインなど、ジャンルを横断する活動にフォーカスして頂いています。L’OFFICIELイタリア版の皆さま、ありがとうございます。
イタリアの雑誌ですが、機会がございましたらぜひご覧ください。

TAKT PROJECT: Lesson in Relations - Dialogue with Trees 100
TAKT PROJECT presents a new exhibition exploring the relationship between humans, materials, and environment through the act of making.
Beginning from the simple gesture of interacting with a branch, the project reflects on a form of creation that is not driven by control, but by dialogue. Materials are approached not as passive resources, but as active counterparts — entities to be observed, touched, and understood.
Through a process that combines physical exploration and digital tools such as 3D scanning and printing, branches are transformed into objects that preserve their complexity and irregularity.
The resulting pieces have no defined function. They exist as traces of an encounter — studies of perception, relationship, and the possibility of a more sensitive approach to making.

《Lesson in Relations：Dialogue with Trees #100》
This project explores an alternative approach to design itself—one grounded in dialogue rather than control—using tree branches collected from the forest as its central motif. Walking through the forest, touching trees, collecting branches that catch the eye.
Observing them closely, then scanning them in 3D to view them anew through a digital lens.
With the help of technology, the branch’s distinctive form, structural imbalance, and weight come vividly alive.
And just as one might feel compelled to speak to it, one feels the urge to make a small, delicate intervention.
To give shape to that impulse, I used tools such as 3D printing to work upon the branch itself.
In that moment, digital technology ceased to be an instrument of control—it became more like an organ of perception, mediating between human and material, allowing the complex to remain complex.
The resulting objects have no clear purpose or function.
They are studies and records of our relationship with the forest—traces of our renewed encounter.
《関係のレッスン：Dialogue with Trees #100》
森を歩き、木々に触れ、気になった枝を採集する。それらを手に取って眺める。
さらに3Dスキャナーでデジタル化し、その視点からもまじまじと眺める。すると、枝が持つ特異な形や、力学的な偏り、重さなどが、テクノロジーの助けを借りながら、活き活きと感じられてくる。そして、思わず話しかけたくなる様に、そこにほんの少しだけ手を加えたくなる。その湧き上がる衝動を具現化するため、3Dプリンターなどで形にして、枝に実際に働きかけた。その時デジタルテクノロジーは、素材をコントロールする存在ではなく、複雑な存在を複雑なまま捉え、その間を取り持つ私たちの器官のようである。
生み出されたオブジェクトは、まだ目的も機能も持たない、森と私たちの関わりの記録であり習作。
