Embracing Serenity: The Project Between Relax Planning and ABUKU

Relax Planning, a company dedicated to creating tranquil environments, has launched an exciting new collaboration with glass artist and jewelry designer Nananobu KANO, known for his brand ABUKU. This partnership aims to delve into the concept of “relaxation alliance,” exploring the balance of light, tranquility, and minimalist design in human spaces.

The project transcends the mere presentation of glass art or jewelry; it seeks to define what spaces can feel like when they foster recovery and well-being. Through an exploration of their respective expertise—Relax Planning's insights into restorative environments found in various European cities and KANO's delicate touch on light, calm, and emptiness—they aim to create what they refer to as sensory harmonized spaces.

What is ABUKU?

ABUKU is not just a glass brand. It represents deeper themes:

• - The fleeting nature of life.
• - The conversation with oneself.
• - A quiet sensation.

The brand's mission is about translating these intangible concepts into tangible objects—jewelry and glass pieces that resonate with human emotions. KANO’s duality as a jewelry designer and glass artist allows for a seamless blend of decorative functionality and spatial expression. Even the smallest pieces, such as rings, encapsulate an entire ambiance of tranquility.

The Experience of Glass

Rather than merely observing glass, ABUKU encourages an experiential understanding of its presence. The glass does not only exist as a transparent material; it interacts with light to soften and diffuse it, creating serene pauses within spaces. This interaction surpasses visual perception, impacting one's very breath and sensory experience.

Relax Planning has journeyed through cities like Paris, Rome, Venice, and other tranquil locations, identifying a consistent pattern:

• - Light
• - Water
• - Emptiness
• - Calmness

These elements are foundational to settings meant for recuperation. The ethos of ABUKU resonates deeply with this structural understanding, making it a perfect partner for Relax Planning's vision.

Beyond Art: Space Design

This project will not merely culminate in artwork displays. Future initiatives include:

• - Hotels
• - Spas
• - Wellness environments
• - Renovations
• - Lounges
• - Stay facilities
• - Quiet commercial spaces

Instead of simply placing objects, the aim is to create spaces that impart a feeling of becoming more centered by being in them. The ultimate goal is to design environments that allow individuals to feel a sense of return.

Through light and emptiness, people can reconnect. This partnership synthesizes Relax Planning's understanding of recovery structures with KANO's mastery of light, tranquility, and minimalism.
The ABUKU project embodies jewelry, glass, spatial essence, and the experience of touching human senses. Together, they will curate spaces that encourage individuals to find their way back to a state of calm.
