BLOSSOM
STUDIO TOER (NETHERLANDS)

ABOUT THE PROJECT:
The constant change of seasons inspired Studio Toer to recreate the Japanese cherry blossom that, emerges after the darkest days. The very first color of spring appears, and a pink glow, a splendid palette of colors, emerges. This metamorphosis continues to astonish and led Studio Toer to create a special work for it. Even though winter has not yet announced itself, it is a fascination to look forward to; we all know the feeling of spring. Blossom is a tribute to the blossom and conveys the message that beneath the surface, beyond what we can see, the first buds of blossom automatically develop. When the time comes, the flowers bloom silently, leaving us in wonder.

Jatkuva vuodenaikojen vaihtelu inspiroi Studio Toeria luomaan uudelleen japanilaisen kirsikankukan, joka syntyy synkimpien päivien jälkeen. Kevään ensimmäinen väri avautuu ja esiin tulee vaaleanpunainen hehku, upea väripaletti. Tämä metamorfoosi hämmästyttää edelleen ja sai Studio Toerin luomaan sille erityisen teoksen. Vaikka talvi ei ole vielä ilmoittanut itsestään, se on lumoavaa odotusta; me kaikki tiedämme kevään tunteen. Blossom on kunnianosoitus kukalle ja välittää viestin, että pinnan alle, näkemisen ulkopuolelle, kehittyvät automaattisesti ensimmäiset kukan silmut. Kun aika koittaa, kukat kukkivat hiljaa jättäen meidät ihmettelemään.
Toer is a multidisciplinary design studio from the Netherlands, founded in 2011 by Castor Bours and Wouter Widdershoven.
Characterised by strong exploratory and experimental approach, Studio Toer pushes both the technical and aesthetic limits of design across a wide range of applied arts. From light installations and objects, to interactive experiences and innovative products.
Studio Toer has received worldwide attention for projects such as “Cumulus”, an autonomous parasol that inflates into a cloud-like shape with solar energy. “Fiet”, a kinetic light sculpture that reacts to changes in its environment, and “Shaped by Time”, a clock that forms itself over time.
Toer’s interactive installations have been presented at countless international festivals and can be enjoyed worldwide.
