Design for the entrance to Nakashima Propeller’s new office building
We designed the entrance for the new office building of marine propeller manufacturer Nakashima Propeller Co., Ltd.
The two blades from a giant propeller that stand in the entrance were made using 3D printing, which has the potential to become the main method for propeller manufacturing. Installing full-sized propeller blades demonstrates their precise curved structure in a straightforward way.
The functional nature of the propeller’s beauty is clearly conveyed on the wall, using commentary and a diagram to explain formulas and technology utilized in propeller manufacture.
