Entry Description

We created a Byobu using fat wood. Byobu is a traditional Japanese folding screen. The fat wood is a precious material that can be extracted from pines, which is rich in resin. The resin, which has accumulated over many years, changes a red color when it catches light. This material is combined with Byobu to create Fat Wood Byobu. Fat Wood Byobu have 3 functions. By using special joints to connect the panels, Fat Wood Byobu can be transformed into various shapes, and its function also changes.
1. Partiton
2. Art Wall
3. Lighting Fixture
Fat Wood Byobu glows a bewitching red in the light.
