Villa Kujoyama, residency research
As a designer engaged in the search of solace more than comfort alone, Johan Brunel has been pursuing the study of « things that feel good ». Resident at the Villa Kujoyama from January to June 2018, he is interested in what happens during communal bathing (sento, onsen) and he wants to transmit its qualities in other contexts. He collaborates especially with the cooper artist Shuji Nakagawa on the creation of new bathroom objects. He seeks to gather the conditions of a great collective and inter-cultural contemporary baths project .
