Meet the Takumis: hand molded precision

BRINGING TO LIFE THE SPINDLE GRILLE #design ON THE ALL-NEW #Lexus #LS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE HUMAN ACCURACY OF AN EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMAN, TRANSFORMING MACHINED OUTPUT INTO A WORK OF ART.

The pattern on the evolved, iconic spindle grille is of such delicate complexity, it required an unusually high level of human skill in both the #design and fabrication stages to complete. From computer screen to finished product, constant artisan involvement ensured the beauty of the designer’s original vision was fully expressed.

The new #design features a single intricate span of interlocking #Lexus ‘L’ motifs, a web-like tapestry inspired by the fine delicate patterns of those found in nature. While previous designs called for two separate upper and lower molds, the designers at #Lexus challenged themselves to express the the new incredibly complex grille as a single, integrated piece.
