Kou-an glass teahouse gives tradition clarity
Tokujin Yoshioka is a familiar name in the design world, but it's hard to say which discipline he belongs to. His oeuvre spans products, including a mobile phone, watch and chandelier; architecture and interiors, such as his Rainbow Church (2010, 2013) and Swarovski Ginza (2008) display; even artworks like his "Rainbow Chair" (2007) that went on show at the 2014 Venice Biennale. He is probably best-known for a functional artwork, the "Honey-pop" (2000) chair — a 1-cm thick wad of 120 sheets of paper that when pulled apart like a concertina reveals a honeycomb-structured chair.
