Tokujin Yoshioka Installation Opens at Moroso

October 4^th 2007:  Opening today, an installation by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka will transform the Moroso store at 146 Greene Street in New York into an ethereal, all-white environment.   Tokujin has built an art installation that fully involves the space in all its smallest details, drawing in, engaging and amazing the spectator. Tokujin also created an installation at Moroso in Milan during the annual Italian Furniture Fair this past April. 
As in Milan, the New York installation will show the development of Tokujin's Panna Chair. However, New York will be the international debut of the final version of this chair.

The work of Tokujin extracts unexpected potential from materials through extraordinary creativity, patience and precision.  His work is based on research into the use of new materials or taking ordinary materials and using them in extraordinary ways. As in Milan, the world Tokujin creates in New York provides a place of quiet refuge through a sculptural, all-white, cloud-like environment.
