Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima and Sou Fujimoto donate works for Home for All charity auction
Leading Japanese architects have offered up drawings, models and other original works to raise funds for Home for All, the non-profit organisation set up by Toyo Ito following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Sou Fujimoto, Kazuyo Sejima, Junja Ishigami and Fumihiko Maki are among the architects that have donated items to be auctioned online.
The auction site launched on the final weekend of design festival of Designart Tokyo, which ran from 19 to 28 October. It is accepting bids until 5 November.
SANAA co-founder Kazuyo Sejima donated a dress that consists of three acrylic layers
Among the 24 lots is a one-size-fits-all dress, consisting of three acrylic layers that can be worn in different combinations. It was produced by Sonia Rykiel in collaboration with SANAA co-founder Kazuyo Sejima, who sits on the board of Home for All. Architect Mark Dytham ? a fellow member of the Home for All board, and co-founder of Designart Tokyo ? commented that the three-layer prototype dress was the "most surprising item in the auction".
Takeshi Okada also gave a piece of clothing ? a signed home shirt of FC Imabari, the team that he owns, who play in the Japan Football League.
