LEXUS

A natural lacquer trophy designed for the Lexus Design Award. Crafted using the byakudan-nuri technique—where silver foil is applied to the wooden base and coated with a thin layer of translucent lacquer—the piece evolves over time. As the years pass, exposure to light gradually increases the lacquer’s transparency, allowing the silver beneath to shine through more vividly. This quiet transformation becomes a symbol of celebration, deepening in brilliance alongside the journey of the award recipient.
