The CREATION SPACE at ISSEY MIYAKE SEMBA presents a special exhibition, “Fold and Crease (Extended)” featuring the namesake project by the Dutch collective We Make Carpets.

We Make Carpets creates original, exquisite installations using everyday objects, such as household items and construction materials. Composed of large quantities of small objects—painstakingly placed one by one—their work shows complex, complementing patterns that unroll and extend in the space like carpets. Since its formation in 2009, they have been carrying out site-specific projects recognized by museums and galleries from around the world.

This exhibition builds upon the project Fold and Crease, presented last year in April at the ISSEY MIYAKE store in Milan during the design week, by further developing the existing installations including Skewer Carpet 2 that uses 60,000 skewers, colored and arranged one by one, by the hands of the collective. The new and “extended” installations presented here at the gallery speak to the original concept, inspired by the qualities and craftsmanship found in ISSEY MIYAKE’s clothing.
