Deeply Emotional

I would like to highlight a Japanese artist/designer Tokujin Yoshioka.

It probably isn’t the first word you’d associate Tokukin Yoshioka with, but “emotion” is the very thing that drives his art.

Tokujin Yoshioka is a man who puts striking curves into the fabric of everyday furniture, boxes or even shop displays. His vision of design rests on making a strong emotional connection, and a lot of industrial-size glass. He also does art, having made temples of glass or shimmering ice-like slabs which seem to ripple even as they are, in reality, completely still. It is amazing to see his cross-over disciplines in every area including design, art & space, product, and architecture. Check out more from his website: http://www.tokujin.com/
