Tokujin Yoshioka for Moroso

Bouquet: Sublime simplicity for this innovative, amazing design by Tokujin Yoshioka. “I got the idea for Bouquet from the installation I created last October for Moroso's New York showroom. I used about 30,000 paper tissues to recreate a cloud-like atmosphere. The Bouquet makes people who sit on it happy, just as a bouquet makes the person who receives it happy. The vibrant, delicate colours trigger different sensations in each of us.” The Bouquet chair "blooms" on a slim, chrome-metal stem that blossoms with white or delicately-coloured "petals" made of hand-folded fabric squares sewn one by one, with great care and infinite patience, to completely cover the internal surface of the egg-shaped, wrap-around shell. Tokujin Yoshioka, is a great “couturier” with a meticulous eye for detail, he is a designer whose delicate, poetic, elegant designs help us to dream. He likes to astonish us by producing surprising effects from simple, almost banal objects which he interprets and uses in an extraordinary way by means of his ability to see beyond and to reinterpret the world through the characteristic poetry and harmony of Japanese culture.

Little Garden is a metal table, in two heights, with a round top that rests on a circular section central support at the base of which a flower vase is inserted. Little Garden can be located both indoors and outdoors and can be used both in private dwellings as well as in contract projects. It is an apparently simple object but extremely complex in its balanced harmony, correct proportion of shape and material and its painstaking finishings. Poetry and magic in an object that is so simple yet at the same time so ingenious.
