Event Details

Luminaire Lab will be showcasing an array of iconic contemporary furniture and products designed by some of the most respected Japanese industrial designers. The highlight of the exhibition, eschewing color or texture, the “Softer Than Steel” collection, by Nendo for Desalto, in solid white makes the form the most important part of each piece. The shimmering Prism collection designed by Tokujin Yoshioka for Glas Italia brings forth miraculous expressions by the refraction of light through the clear mirrored surfaces of its cabinets and tables and the bevelled edges of its chairs. Creating an ambiguous anthracite textured surface, Nendo’s Brushstroke Console will be on display in addition to his latest re-interpretation of the traditional Japanese seating cushions, the Zabuton chair, into a contemporary furniture pieces that include chairs, sofas and dining chairs. The exhibition will also debut for the first time in the US, Tokujin Yoshioka’s latest design for Issey Miyake, the Brook Ottoman.
