japanese firm yoichi yamamoto architects has completed ‘2D/3D chairs’ for tokyo fashion labels issey miyake store. featuring a series of traditional dining chairs, the installation transforms from a two dimensional graphic into a tangible piece. the perspective is manipulated creating a unique appearance from different vantage points for onlookers. graphics of legs in varying perspectives are printed onto a horizontal plane while the chair backs rest upon the surface.

the seat backs maintain a seamless transition from the graphics by utilizing assorted sizes, heights and placed at diverse angles. clothing items are then displayed upon the installation in a casual manner appearing as though someone tossed it onto their household furniture. currently a collection of vibrant hats designed by akio hirata are presented to shoppers by resting upon the electric blue backs.
