Table with top in 6mm thick transparent extralight tempered glass and base in laminated 15+19mm thick transparent extralight glass. The sides of the table are rebated to allow the glass top to be inset flush inside the frame. The joints are achieved by means of section cuttings and three-dimensional gluing of the table sides and legs.
Tokujin Yoshioka was born in Japan in 1967 and studied at the Kuwasawa Design School, where he gained his degree in 1986. In 1992 he started working as a free-lance designer and eight years later he established his own studio in Tokyo. His career can be traced back to the works with Shiro Kuramata and Issey Miyake.
His works, which transcend the boundaries of product design, architecture, and exhibition installation, are highly evaluated also as art.
Many of his works are displayed as a part of permanent collections in the world’s well-known museums including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou, Victoria and Albert Museum, Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum and Vitra Design Museum.
