2019 Daiwa Scholar Kathleen Reilly exhibiting at Designart Tokyo 2021

Designart Tokyo 2021, one of Japan’s largest design and art festivals, will take place from 22 to 31 October 2021.

This year’s exhibition theme is “chance”.

2019 Daiwa Scholar Kathleen Reilly has been selected to take part!

“Bringing subtle humor to the quotidian is Kathleen Reilly, a graduate of London’s Royal College of Art and 2019 Daiwa Scholarship winner. Currently based in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture — Japan’s center of metalworking — Reilly rethinks our relationship with everyday objects, particularly tableware, with playfully subversive creations that bridge art and functional design. For Designart, she presents “Oku,” an unusual knife with a twisted handle, made in collaboration with Tsubame cutlery makers and aptly exhibited at Blue Bottle Coffee in Roppongi.”
