We presented a sensory installation at Osaka Expo 2025, the world's largest international exposition bringing together nations and cultures in Japan, in collaboration with Uzbek craftspeople whose making traditions we had first encountered at the Design Doha Biennial. The installation brought together Japanese minimalism and Uzbek craft into a space designed for pause, reflection, and human connection. It was built around the idea that design can create moments of stillness within even the most populated and spectacular of international events.
