Summary
An art project for COREDO Nihonbashi, built on the former site of the Tokyu Department Store in Nihonbashi. Two works on the theme of light were installed, with the aim of raising the value of the development as a whole by placing art within the urban landscape and bringing a sense of vibrancy to a conventional business space. Sharing the motif of light, both works stand out against the glass-clad building, coexisting while each retains its own distinct presence. “AN ORAL ORBIT” by Isao Sato received the Silver Prize in the experimental category at the 13th CS Design Awards.
