Squish Stool in Pine by Yuko Nishikawa
Squish Stool in Pine by Yuko Nishikawa
A ceramic Squish stool by Yuko Nishikawa in pine.
Squish Stools form a continuous body together with each ceramic stool squishing and being squished by other stools. They were created during the pandemic in 2020, a time in which touch and interaction was scarce.
Nishikawa places the stools side by side and gently pushes them together so that each stool takes the form of its neighboring stools, which in turn take the form of their own neighboring stools. In this way the interaction spreads. It’s like hugging, accepting another's body while rounding their own. It’s like the way we were in the NY subways, huddling in a triangular spot in a puffy coat. It’s like garlic cloves, growing up in a shared husk.
1 pine Squish available; (light blue Squish is SOLD) Priced Individually.
We also have 1 strawberry Squish + 1 purple Squish available HERE.
Yuko Nishikawa creates a fantastical environment with her colorful, textural lively forms. With a hands-on, exploratory approach, she makes paintings, lighting, mobiles and sculptures using a variety of mediums. Her work reflects her accumulative experiences in architecture, restoration, interior and furniture design, crafts and engineering.
Nishikawa grew up in a small seaside town just south of Tokyo, Japan and currently resides in New York. She works out of her studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which she built out with friends utilizing demolished materials found in the building. She named this space Forest: a place where things grow and things decay to nourish new lives, and where people wonder and discover something new.
