Denim as recognized work clothes formerly had, at times, shown different expressions as fashion items to the people. Equally, a group of plumbing, usually unnoticed, shows completely different expressions under the name of Nature Factory .
The complex plumbing, trailing by the wall in all directions, covers all over the space. It is like a tree grown over a long time. An atmosphere like a natural arbor is created in the space covered with artificial plumbing.
New attractive scenery is presented with plumbing and fashion items to show that such primarily functional things actually are more diverse and also have higher value.

Bullshit Factory.
Don't be an ass, mdz.
This is awesome.
See, you're reaching towards something like an actual critique. Interesting.
mdz, how do you know it's actually pvc? maybe in japan, they're far beyond that.
I agree with MDZ.
I love this design. A very creative use of a material - although not an environmentally friendly one.
still. very creative and beautiful.
