投稿日:

“Arabesque patterns are often used in interior decorations such as curtains and carpets.
Recently, however, it is also being used more and more as a building material.

In this article, we will discuss the characteristics of the arabesque pattern, its expression in metals, and its possibilities.

What is arabesque pattern?

The original arabesque pattern is a style of Islamic art used in the wall decoration of mosques.
It is formed by repeating geometric patterns. It is a very sacred pattern.
In Japan, it was introduced via the Silk Road as the “KARAKUSA MOYOU” and is now expressed in a variety of patterns.
The pattern has evolved in a wide variety of ways over the course of history.

Expression on metallic materials

In homage to this beautiful pattern, we have expressed it on metal. The reflection from the luster and the reflection from the resolution are expressed in a way that can only be expressed in metal.
In addition to the mirrored surface, the use of a majestic golden color is designed to evoke the excitement of the Japanese people of that time, who saw the patterns handed down from ancient times.

 

Possibility of expressing arabesque patterns

The conventional way of expression has been to create a texture on the surface of a metal plate, but it is possible to create an expression with a subtle three-dimensional shape as expressed in some designing titanium.
The floating arabesque pattern can express solemnity and dignity even with ultra-thin titanium material.
We would be happy if you would consider this as one of the new spatial expressions.

 

Imagine a space like a piano playing or a ballet performing.
