NEG's Invisible Glass Administrative Division Tel: +81-77-537-1861 (Direct) November 5, 2013 NEG’s Invisible GlassTM Adopted for “TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA_Crystallize” Invisible GlassTM manufactured by Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Otsu, Shiga, President: Masayuki Arioka) (NEG) was adopted for display cases and protection covers of the framed works displayed at “TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA_Crystallize,” the first large-scale solo exhibition of Tokujin Yoshioka, an international designer working actively in a wide range of artistic fields. While ordinary bare glass display cases often reflect illumination light, making it hard to see the works inside, Invisible GlassTM cases minimize reflection unique to glass, using high-performance anti-reflecting coatings. In the field of art display, Invisible GlassTM has already been employed at several renowned museums, including the Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art, the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, and Pola Museum of Art. In this case, it was adopted due to high evaluation of its excellent performance capable of directly showing the appeal of displayed works. Invisible GlassTM has also been employed for showcases at jewelry and luxury watch shops. NEG is currently working on development of its applications to smartphones, tablets and various monitors for anti-reflection purposes. NEG will further develop Invisible GlassTM for a wide variety of applications to promote its sales. ■Outline of Exhibition ・TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA_Crystallize ・Date : Oct. 3, 2013 - Jan. 19, 2014 ・Venue : MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART TOKYO As new works for this exhibition, the artist will present crystallized paintings drawn by the vibration of music “Swan Lake,” and the seven-stranded chair titled "Spider’s Thread." Other works to be exhibited will include a sculpture of a crystallized flower “Rose,” an architectural assemblage of crystal prisms “Rainbow Church,” his representative works including installations, and his works never before displayed in Japan. (Appendix) ■ Features of Invisible GlassTM The thickness of anti-reflecting coatings is precisely controlled at the nanometer order to dramatically reduce visible light reflection to the human eye. The minimum luminous reflectance* of Invisible Glass is 0.08%, far below that of bare glass (approx. 4%). The performance of Invisible GlassTM far exceeds that of the conventional low-reflection glass and acrylic sheets, which have been often used for showcases at luxury jewelry shops and other places. * Luminous reflectance: the rate of reflection of visible light to the human eye ■ Comparison between Invisible GlassTM and bare glass without anti-reflecting coatings In this example display, there is no noticeable reflection or glare on Invisible GlassTM (left), while there is some glare from the ceiling lighting on bare glass(right), and the picture on the right looks a little bit dull in color. ■ Applications of Invisible Glass (examples) • Backes & Strauss Salon at Franck Muller Watchland Osaka (showcases) • GINZA TANAKA Main Store (showcases) • MIYAMOTO SHOKO Ginza Main Store (showcases) • The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto (showcases) • Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art (protective covers for painting) • Chiba University Hospital (X-ray room) ■ Tokujin Yoshioka Profile Born in 1967.

While Tokujin is an artist – a representative of SCAF’s core focus group – he most frequently works within the framework of functional design: furniture, lighting and cutting-edge retail, restaurant and fashion interiors. Art and design, long separated into rigorous categories, now periodically overlap in the upper echelons of innovative creative practices. In the second decade of the twenty- first century, how do these two disciplines interrelate? The aftermath of the postmodern period has given rise to intersecting creative endeavours. Art schools worldwide no longer pigeonhole students in sculpture, painting, printmaking or medium-specific departments. Emerging practitioners most commonly conceptualise their projects, selecting the best pathway to realisation from amongst the many technical methodologies their education has placed at their disposal. Similar forces were at work, of course, during fin-de-siècle and early twentieth century artistic movements: between 1903 and 1932, the Wiener Werkstätte, spearheaded by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser (with Gustav Klimt’s early participation), encouraged avant-garde collectors1 to commission or acquire paintings, furniture, lighting, carpets and tableware linked by aesthetic and philosophical considerations.
