junya ishigami: family chairs
'family' chairs
japanese designer junya ishigami, created three new furniture items for contemporary spaces
presented by the italian living divani company at the salone del mobile 2010. 'family' chair is
an ironic, distorted revisitation of an archetype.
the entire 'family', its minimal nature gives it a decorative element
'drop' table
'drop' table is a furniture piece that plays with the illusion of depth, achieved through
the combination of design and technology.
ishigami explores transparency
detail of table top
available as a dining table (height 75cm) or coffee table (height 39cm), 'drop' is designed
with the optical effect of a lens which distorts its surroundings; in this case the 'family' chairs.
the tables are made entirely of glossy transparent perspex.

junya ishigami was born in 1974 in kanagawa, japan. he graduated in 2000 with a master
of
architecture and planning course at the tokyo national university of fine arts and music.
from 2000 to 2004, he worked at kazuyo sejima & associates, before he established his
own practice junya.ishigami + associates in 2004. in 2005 he showcased his first installation
in milan, in collaboration with the japanese automotive brand lexus. through ishigami’s artistic
approach to his practice in his early career, he has helped to redefine the boundaries between
art and architecture. he has since been awarded the kirin art project prize and won the first prize
for his house proposal for the tokyo electric power company. ishigami designed an installation
in milan for the canon neoreal show in 2008 and completed his first building, the facility at
kanagawa institute of technology in 2007. the design was a forest-like structure of white poles
bound only by glass, and contained by a simple steel roof. he used a similar construction for
his delicate greenhouse design for the japanese pavilion at the venice architecture biennale
in 2008.
