Bouquet
by Tokujin Yoshioka, 2008
From a thin stem of chromed metal blooms a bouquet of petals, formed by squares of fabric folded manually and sewn one by one with skilful care and infinite patience. A tribute to the beauty that touches the spiritual dimension in the simplicity of the repeated gesture, revealing the boundary between vision and real image. The dress of petals wraps around the egg-shaped shell, until it completely covers its inner part. Allegory of the dream, refined poetic transposition celebrated in the material object proper to industrial design. The armchair makes those who sit on it happy, just as flowers gratify those who receive them.
