The young Japanese designer again tries to “engineer” a different way of creating objects -
"a mysterious crystallisation process that literally allows him to grow the
shapes of some archetypical pieces of furniture in water, just like coral or
madrepores. Chaise longue, armchair and even Venus de Milo, ironically
deconstructed in thousands of small crystals agglomerated in a way that
unmistakably resembles the all-time art legend, an involuntary icon of the same
ornate beauty that nature loves so much."

This “design on the rocks” is to be the centrepiece of an exhibition in Tokyo at 21_21 Design Sight, 17 October – 18 January, 2009.
