This project is to create, personalised promotional products for Nobuko Hamano, an internationally active artist based in Kagawa. She expresses the life and death using lily petals as the motif of her work. The starting point of this project was to plan the final design and we made the most of the lines of her artworks that are both feminine yet robust and delicate at the same time with the designs. Putting her works central to the designs, the structure and layout to highlight her work itself by removing or summarising all other elements as much as possible. Furthermore, by grasping the surface of paper three-dimensionally we wanted to achieve expressions going beyond the standardised or stereotypical usage of the two-dimensional space.

It was desired that the simple paper products such as an envelope, postcard and letterhead would resonate with her philosophy.
