Incastri reflects Kengo Kuma’s design philosophy, where nature, material integrity, and craftsmanship converge. The collection draws from three traditional Japanese references: Chidori, a modular joinery system using interlocking components; Chozu, the purification ritual centered around water; and Yakisugi, a wood-charring technique that enhances durability and depth. These cultural elements are reinterpreted as architectural volumes, textured surfaces, and minimal tubular structures, emphasizing light, shadow, and material tactility.
