Designed by Tokujin Yoshioka
Where do you think mermaids would seat, into the blue, while rolling up their long tails? Certainly not on rationalist thrones or minimalist stools, perhaps on ancient rocks shaped by the sea. To this fantasy world seems inspired Tokujin Yoshioka – names of objects are never random – by building a seat as a mysterious river bed. At the base a large hollowed fold to fold legs (or tails, for sirens), on the back a double sinuous fold to rest arms.

The Tokyo-Pop collection marks, in 2002, the debut on the international scene by Tokujin Yoshioka, now considered one of the masters of contemporary design. The sofa, the armchair and especially the chaise longue and the stool, forget the banality of rotational molding to become sculptures. Unforgettable and unusual shapes.
The nest of the TIBIDABO collection in characterized by a supporting structure in powder coated steel tube covered by a hand-woven synthetic fiber rope: its sophisticated design makes it suitable for the furnishing of a private house or a hotel terrace.
Neoz sofas, bed and day-bed emphasize the formal charateristics of the collection they belong to, by building a sort of living nest marked by the hem-stitched tissue whiteness, like past laundry, and the cushions’ softness. Large wheels, though, suggest it as an only termporary luxe.
Antonia Astori calls ‘memory furniture’ those pieces which tell something about people attention to indoor living. An attention expressed both by the recovery of disappeared archetypes, eg. canopy bed, and in precious materials manufacturing, eg. pleached roped steel headboard.
A practical yet extremely elegant sofa characterized by its base in cast aluminium which transforms itself into a comfortable double bed simply by lowering the backrest via the patented mechanism.
