Atelier Muji, Tokyo presents “Handscape,” an exhibition that showcases a series of rag rugs created by Studio Brieditis and Evans using Muji’s textile leftovers. Re Rag Rug is an experimental ongoing design project with an ecological and social dimension that focuses on new expressions of the rag rug. The title of the exhibition, “Handscape,” refers to a landscape created by human hands. Combining design, ideas, and the power of the human hand, the waste materials are transformed into pieces of artwork.The project directly explores the value of objects and the importance of design in manufacturing and recycling processes. Using old clothes and excess remnants of fabric from the textile industry, Studio Brieditis & Evans created 12 unique rugs during 12 months using 12 different techniques, without the help of a loom. “Handscape” exhibits two of the 12 Re Rag Rugs, inviting visitors to think about current modes of consumption and the viability of industrial production. The exhibition is on view through October 29, 2017, at Atelier Muji – Yurakucho, Infos Yurakucho 1-3F, 3-8-3 Marunouchi, Tokyo, noted Domus.  Read more
