Venus Natural Crystal Chair by Tokujin Yoshioka
Venus Natural Crystal Chair will be presented at the “Second Nature“, an exhibition where Tokujin Yoshioka is giving an artistic and curatorial direction.
4 sets of 2.5-meter-wide water tanks will be prepared. Inside the glass tank, a block of fibre structure is soaked deep in water so that you can see the process of the structure growing, as if a living creature. In addition, there will be various works exhibited that stimulate people’s emotions such as Tokujin’s new installation, “Water block”(a bench presented at Design Miami 2007), and works by 7 creators from all over the world. All the works on exhibit will be based on the theme ‘second nature’, meaning they are not inspired by nature or aiming to imitate it, but instead they create new natural forms.

The PANE Chair by Tokujin Yoshioka
Named after common bread, the PANE Chair undergoes a similar process as that involved in baking it. A semi–cylindrical block of fibers is rolled, inserted into a paper tube and baked in a kiln at 104 degrees Celsius. The fibers thus ‘memorize’ the shape of the chair.
The Pane Chair is by Tokujin Yoshioka who demonstrates very well how systematical use of small and light fibers can create the strength we know from solid materials.
