Textile doll figure by Koji Kondo, Amsterdam - collection Delta 98 Den Haag

 Until only recently we never new 

Koji Kondo, Tokyo 1939 born 

also made textile dolls.

We discovered them by recognizing the faces

and were able to add 3 to our collection of Koji Kondo figures.

Here a figure / doll of 115cm length:

collection Delta 98 Den Haag,

provenance Onno Willy Boers, Amsterdam 1936-2021,

and De Zwaan auction, Amsterdam, 2021

Made with high skills of luxurious textiles samples, 

hand-stiched together 

and with lace-like details for the face

In situ this Koji Kondo figure is hanging on the wall, 

still, silent, not moving, 

apparently helpless, 

but the eyes follow you vivedly and

it seems unhappy with what it sees

We found on the internet a review of 

a Koji Kondo exhibition in 1991,

at Galerie De Uithof in Utrecht, University Utrecht,

telling that next to dolls, Koji Kondo also showed:

interieur ontwerpen / interior designs

We politely ask readers to provide information or pictures of 

Koji Kondo 's designs for interiors.

een oproep:
