Remember our Madrid-based mate, Jorge Penadés, from this post? Well, we were lucky enough to meet him in real life at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Milan Design Week, where we learned about his latest project – Structural Skin Mirror.
Inspired by his trip to Japan in 2014, Jorge was drawn to Boro: a traditional Japanese folk textile which represents two essential principles of Japanese culture; mottainai – a term that conveys a deep sense of regret concerning waste, and boroboro – finding beauty in something frayed, decaying or repaired, demonstrating a vast esteem for our available resources and labour.
