'mikakure' by koki yoshida


tokyo-based designer koki yoshida has created the 'mikakure' chair. when one seat is placed horizontally next to another of the series,
the chairs link together, becoming one continuous seat. the interlocking, zipper-like detailing featured on the side of each chair
links one firmly to the next. due to the raised and recessed alternating black and white diagonal lines of 'mikakure',
a viewer's perception of the color and dimensions of the chair are altered by his/her current standpoint. yoshida's piece was featured in
tokyo designers week 2011.
