本设计是nendo与纽约艺术家Daniel Arsham的合作项目，秉持“Daniel来打破，nendo来创立”的概念，即：首先由nendo创造出没有特定用途的产品，再由Daniel通过破坏的手段赋予产品新的用途。从一个浴缸状的形状，创造出双人沙发；从一个狭长的体块，创造出一条长凳；从一个高大四方的形状，创造出一个控制台面。这些作品都被粉刷成了Daniel标志性的柔和色调。

A collaborative project with New York-based artist Daniel Arsham with the concept of “nendo makes. Daniel breaks. ”After nendo creates objects with no intended use, Daniel produces new functions by breaking them. From a bathtub-like form, a loveseat emerged; from a long and narrow block, a bench or a stool; from a tall, square form, a console table was revealed. The pieces are colored in pastel tones, typical of Daniel’s work.

长期主导Daniel创作实践的主题是“虚构的考古学”，指的是对日常生活中的物品进行一定程度的破坏，使其呈现出刚刚“出土”的状态。在日本传统手工艺中，“为打破而创造”的概念是受到尊崇的，这种理念体现在可拆卸的细木工制品或由木板箍制的木桶中。

The theme that has long dominated Daniel’s practice, “Fictional Archeology,” refers to the partial breaking of everyday things to transform them into “excavated” artifacts. In traditional Japanese craft, on the other hand, the idea of “creating to be broken” is honored, as displayed in the easily dismountable joinery of wood construction or in barrels made of just wooden planks and held together by a hoop.

nendo的作品也经常探索“从破坏中进行逆向设计”这个主题。

This theme of “reverse-engineering from breaking” is often explored in nendo’s work as well.

一个通过打破事物进行创作的艺术家，这位艺术家将当下的物品表达为过去;一个专门为打破而创作的设计师，这位设计师则将当下的物品制作成可以预见未来的样子。这种合作可以看作两种完全相反观点的叠加。

An artist who creates by breaking, and a designer who creates things to be broken. An artist who expresses present objects as past artifacts, and a designer who makes present objects that anticipate the future. The collaboration may be seen as an overlay of these two contrary perspectives.
