'Kuboji' no.1 is the result of my interest in the cultural histories of objects and how cultures can reshape an object's design and narrative.
Kuboji combines the graphical elements present in the Kuba textiles of what is now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the wood and washi aesthetic of the Japanese shoji screen.
Kuboji is constructed from bass wood backed by washi paper. India ink is applied to the surface of the wood to give it its dark colour. Various types of washi paper are applied to the back to create the varied colours and textures.
Dimensions: H 36" x W 6" x D 1.5"
Materials: bass wood, washi paper, LEDs (dimmable)
Plug-in (12v). Can be designed for wiring to junction box upon request.
