Random Residencyby Akasaki & Vanhuyse

Design studio Akasaki & Vanhuyse presents their ongoing research project, Random Residency. Exploring the question of “What is long-lasting design?”, they collected vintage objects from across Japan and Europe. A selection is shown at tokyobike in a setting inspired by Kotto-Ichi, Japanese antiques markets, where visitors can browse and purchase pieces.
