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.
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.
Its structure emerges from a game of tangent lines between its four organic frames and of those with the seat, thus securing stability and at the same turning it almost transparent.
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.
Different geometric shapes and various combinations of materials, create infinite uses and setting possibilities. A simple concept from which arises a complete collection of tables and accessories for the most varied environments and situations.
