Dear Shaded Viewers,

When designer Kei Kagami was a child he was fascinated by the texture of fiberglass. "Generally people say that the texture of fiberglass is nasty and unhealthy, however, I always felt an organic beauty from it. I have the good fortune of knowing how to treat resin and fiberglass. I learnt how to do that from restoring a fuel tank made of fiberglass for my bike." said Kei Kagami.
