“A lot of the studio’s work takes inspiration from human movement. When thinking about Tokyo, at the time of the Olympic Games, we found an interesting relationship between the way sportspeople craft their bodies to master their discipline, the precise, repetitive movements of automated machines and the tradition of the Zen Garden. Traditionally, the lines monks meditatively rake into the gravel represent moving bodies of water and forms found in nature. We thought it would be fascinating to apply this to the dynamic movement of athletes to somehow transform the electric buzz of the Olympics into something calm and reflective,” concludes Adam Wadey, a senior designer at the studio.
