Wundwekammer Vol.4【rebloom】
2023.11.03 / WUNDWEKAMMER
& DICE & DICE supported by TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO New Balance (TDSNBXDXD) will open a limited-time flower market inside the Dice & Dice store, welcoming Mr. Yuki Matsuo, who is in charge of Blumo, which handles space decoration and styling, and serves as the curator of "Wunderkammer FUKUOKA," the smallest modern art museum in Fukuoka, located within Dice & Dice. This event will take place from November 3 (Friday, national holiday) to 12 (Sunday) at a gallery and shop focused on vases in Nanokawa, Fukuoka City.
"Instead of choosing vases to decorate flowers, choose flowers for the vases you want to display." This flower market proposes a completely new approach centered around vases, brought to you by two creators. "rebloom" means "to bloom again" or "to re-bloom." The scraps and waste generated during the production and sale of New Balance's apparel have been upcycled by Blumo into vases. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, allowing for various ways to use and enjoy them, not just for displaying flowers. Just like New Balance's footwear and athletic wear, these products cater to a diverse range of lifestyles, regardless of age or gender, offering a comfortable and high-quality lifestyle.
During the event, you can view the "rebloom" vase collection and a fresh flower installation by Blumo. Some vases will be available for sale on a first-come, first-served basis starting from 1 PM on November 3 (FRI), with prices starting from ¥22,000 (including tax). *Items will be handed over after the event ends.
Additionally, from November 3 to 5 and 11 to 12, there will be a special sale of fresh flowers selected by Blumo. Purchasers will receive their items wrapped in specially designed wrapping paper for this exhibition. A free paper featuring the production story behind "rebloom" called "Wunderkammer Paper" will also be distributed, so please be sure to pick one up.
