リカコ・ナガシマによる不可逆的スケール

不可逆的スケールは、長期カレンダーという形でネットゼロへの道を検討します。Kvadrat の 2040 年までの 16 年間の脱炭素化移行目標を示すカレンダーは 2 つのフレームで構成されています。左側のフレームには2040年まで毎年1 つずつカレンダーのロールが入っています。毎年、ロールは適切なフレームに移動され、そこで吊り下げられ、巻き取られて使用されます。年月が経つにつれて、積み重ねられたロールが順次右側のフレームに移動し、ネットゼロへの移行の各段階における Kvadrat の排出目標が、左側の積み重ねられたロールの後ろの木材に印刷されています。新しい段階に達するたびに、ロールの色が変化し、暖かい色から冷たい色に徐々に変化します。

Each year’s calendar is printed on a roll of Kvadrat Divina 3 fabric, chosen for its durability and potential for recycling. The calendars have an unconventional format, eschewing the subdivision of months into seven-day weeks and lacking the usual indications of days of the week, weekends and public holidays. Instead, months are typographically arranged without hierarchy in parallel vertical rows, with each month at the top of the row represented by a number, from 1 to 12. This deliberately uniform typographical approach is intended to prompt reflection on how little (or how much) time there is in a year, to provide a sense of the number of days in a year, and to reflect the transience and importance of each individual day.

 “I want to convey the finite and irreversible nature of time and resources,” Nagashima says. “I want people to gradually feel this as they watch the rolls diminish. By making Kvadrat’s emissions targets visible on a daily basis, I hope that Kvadrat staff, and people who work with the company, can be constantly aware of this process.
