for the kyoto tea-table,
kuramata employed his star piece terrazzo, in which pieces of

use and serves as a hallmark of postmodern design.

three pieces of brightly colored acrylic furniture from 1989 and 1990, with its acrylic and
opalescent glass tabletop that appears to be floating over glass beads and spindly legs.
