Second Nature directed by Tokujin Yoshioka


"Second Nature" is in short thinking about the future of design. In the past Tokujin has incorporated many laws that exist in nature, while attempting to explore the possibilities of technology. "Second Nature" combines both to create new forms of nature. This exhibition presents the works of 8 groups of creators, including Tokujin Yoshioka himself. The process of the Crystal chair starts with a substrate made of polyester elastomer which forms the skeleton. This is submerged into a tank and here the crystals grow onto the substrate.

This video features the works of Makoto Azuma, Ross Lovegrove, Tokujin Yoshioka. We recommend visiting the exhibit if you can, more information can be found on 2121designsight.jp
