KAMIKO – SILVIA SCHWATLO

MY ROLE: RESEARCH, SURVEY,
CONCEPT, ARTIST/LOCATION SCOUTING
DELIVERABLE: CONCEPT FOR ROADSHOW AND MERCHANDISE PRODUCTS

Schleipen Papierfabrik approached me from Germany to come up with a name and subsequently help them to promote their new paper, Kamiko to Designers in Germany and Japan. Partnering with the innovative paper manufacture I came up with a concept for a roadshow that doesn’t just builts a bridge between Japan and Germany Design Culture, but also pays homage to Japan´s long history of paper culture and embraces the sensuality of paper. Artists and graphic designers from the Midori.so community were involved in the design of the merchandising products, contributing artworks for the Kamiko box and roadshow T-shirts.
