【Background】
This exhibition event, initiated by the General Incorporated Association Fumoto, aims to create a window for the town of Hirono in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The exhibition, titled "Fudo: an Exhibition Connecting to the Landscape at Your Feet," involves showcasing equipment and venue structures. The exhibition planning is handled by the Home Sick Design Co., Ltd.
As requested, we plan to organize and display a diverse range of exhibits, including skis, helmets, straw hats, and other authentic ethnographic materials that provide a glimpse into the past activities of Hirono. Additionally, we will showcase photographs, postcards, and booklets that serve as historical documentation. We aim to rearrange the exhibits flexibly at each venue based on the requirements of the touring exhibition, while ensuring easy dismantling and assembly.
We will hang posters of flat displays on traditional wooden screen-style frames that are relevant to the displayed works and concepts, using traditional Japanese rope butterfly hinges to allow them to stand independently.
The box-shaped display stands will have a simple structure with grooves cut into plywood, enabling easy assembly and disassembly through the combination of boards.
【Key Points】
Rope butterfly hinges are used as display equipment, spanning beams on the left and right sides of the frames to accommodate hanging displays.
Foldable poster display racks are designed with the touring exhibition in mind.
The feet of the acrylic display stands utilize groove joints, allowing for tool-free installation and disassembly.
The design of the display stands aims to minimize the use of surplus materials from common circulation, thereby reducing costs to the maximum extent.
