I came across a short article at the back of this month's Walrus. The Walrus, to simplify, is Canada's New Yorker or Atlantic Monthly: well-written articles, strong Canadian focus, and a broad range of contents. This month featured a photo essay on a cancerous Ukrainian city, essays on civility in Canadian politics, the human egg trade in Canada, the Canadian writer and intellectual John Ralston Saul, Bhutan's gross national happiness, as well as fiction and poetry.
The short article concerned the design ethic of Oki Sato, founder of Tokyo design firm Nendo. The piece mentioned a climbing wall Sato designed for the Illoiha fitness club in Tokyo's Omotesando district. I investigated. The photos below were taken by Daici Ano. Images are from Dezeen.
Like climbing around your Victorian great-grandmother's high-ceiling living room. I love the bird cage and the stag's head and the crazy girl climbing in stockings.
