having first collaborated with glasitalia in 2012 on the ‘luminous’ table (see designboom’s coverage of the project here), tokujin yoshioka has now developed ‘PRISM’, a series of mirrors and mirrored furniture as a follow-up. being presented on the occasion of the 2013 salone del mobile, the resulting pieces are composed of thick high-transparency glass which is facet cut in order that they convey the sense of a prism in their appearance. the simplicity of the work results in a collection that offers a mysterious shimmer and presence through the refraction of light.
