Lazada
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.
A diamond changes into a seat: faceted from a thousand veins that reflect light, Meridiana transforms the lines of construction and power in lines of poetry. Suspended in its thin metal structure, it shines in its transparency or its sophisticated nuances.
King & Queen are stools or accent tables in turned cork. Inspired by the pawns on the chessboard, especially by the pawns of the king and queen.
Even a classical image, as a railed chair, in the hands of Philippe Starck acquires a particular connotation. In Pip-e, the sequence of horizontal elements, which create the seat and back definetly, takes on a strong chiaroscuro and goes, unexpectedly, to accompany the bending of the knees.
Design has recently begun to reread the last 80s, a period full of hedonistic sings. Ludovica and Roberto Palomba embrace this input in a collection for driade that combines some of this aesthetic hallmarks as straight cast-aluminium structure elegantly painted and damier decoration.
