Where plants and time shape new forms.

About NÉ

⚫︎ENGLISH

NÉ is an atelier that explores the quiet dialogue between plants, time, and vintage materials.

Founded by Satoshi Kawamoto, the space blends botanical expression with the sensibilities of aged objects, allowing both to take on new form through composition, texture, and atmosphere.

Kawamoto’s practice extends beyond botanical work.

He creates spatial installations, visual environments for fashion and runway shows, and botanical set design for exhibitions, retail spaces, and editorial projects. His approach is rooted in observing how plants and objects carry memory, and how their presence can shape the emotional tone of a space.

NÉ serves as both a workshop and a small shop -a place where curated vintage pieces, botanical compositions, and time-worn materials coexist, offering visitors a quiet experience of discovery.

Each piece, arrangement, and installation reflects Kawamoto’s belief that beauty grows slowly, in the space between nature and the passage of time.

NÉ è un atelier che indaga il dialogo silenzioso tra botanica, tempo e materiali vintage.

Fondato da Satoshi Kawamoto, lo spazio unisce l’espressione botanica alla sensibilità degli oggetti vissuti, permettendo a entrambi di trasformarsi attraverso composizione, texture e atmosfera.

La pratica di Kawamoto va oltre il lavoro floreale.

Crea installazioni spaziali, ambientazioni visive per la moda e le sfilate, e set design botanici per mostre, negozi e progetti editoriali.

Il suo approccio nasce dall’osservazione di come piante e oggetti custodiscano memoria, e di come la loro presenza possa definire il tono emotivo di un ambiente.

NÉ è insieme laboratorio e piccola bottega - un luogo in cui pezzi vintage curati, composizioni botaniche e materiali segnati dal tempo convivono, offrendo al visitatore un’esperienza intima e silenziosa.

Ogni pezzo, allestimento o installazione riflette la convinzione di Kawamoto che la bellezza cresca lentamente, nello spazio tra natura e tempo.

NÉ は、植物・時間・ヴィンテージが静かに響き合う対話を探求するアトリエです。

川本 諭によって設立されたこの空間では、植物の表現と古物がもつ時間性や質感が重なり合い、新たなかたちへと静かに変化していきます。

川本の活動は、ボタニカルワークにとどまりません。

ファッションショーやランウェイの装飾、展示会やショップの空間演出、ヴィジュアルセットデザインなど、多岐にわたる領域で植物を媒介にした世界観づくりを行っています。

植物と物が宿す“記憶”を読み取り、その存在が空間の情緒に及ぼす力を見つめることが表現の核にあります。

NÉ は、アトリエであると同時に小さなショップでもあります。

キュレーションしたヴィンテージの品々、植物のコンポジション、時をまとったオブジェクトたちが静かに共存し、訪れる人に穏やかで個人的な体験をもたらします。

ひとつひとつの作品やディスプレイには、「美しさは、自然と時間のあいだでゆっくり育まれる」という川本の信念が息づいています。
