Kodai Iwamoto Japanese, b. 1991

Overview

Kodai Iwamoto (b. 1991, Japan) studied product design at Kobe Design University in Japan. While pursuing his bachelor's degree there, he joined DESIGN SOIL. After completing his studies at Kobe, he moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, where he spent two years gaining practical skills in a master's program at École cantonale d'art de Lausanne. In his "PVC Handblowing Project," Japanese designer Kodai Iwamoto uses traditional glass-blowing techniques to remodel plastic pipes into vases. Tokyo-based Iwamoto began this project with the desire to transform a mass-produced material into art. He combines the traditional manufacturing process of glass-blowing with cheap, readily available PVC pipes typically used in plumbing.
