PULL+PUSH exhibition in Kyoto, Japan

In December last year, PULL+PUSH held an exhibition in Kyoto to showcase their collection and to display their new work in progress. The above, which you may recognize already, is the CUBE Planter, introduced for the first time in the U.S. Yup, that's correct, this piece was actually created and sold exclusively for the U.S. market through MollaSpace, not for Japan.


Above 2 photos include prototypes of what to expect from PULL+PUSH in the near future. Particularly, the dark piece, similar to the CUBE (used as a table light), is produced using charcoal to add color to their collection. Charcoal is often used in Japan's household to absorb humidity and purify the air, as the weather can get quite hot and humid during the summer and the typhoon season.
