Tokujin Yoshioka studied design under Shiro Kuramata (from 1987 to 1988).
I guess it is kind of ‘hommage’ to a great master, at least

Of course many of Shiro Kuramata’s illusions of form come into mind. “How High the Moon Armchair”, “Glass Chair” “Miss Blanche”… Design Boom published them time ago https://www.designboom.com/portrait/kuramata03.html
Cannot wait to see that installation. Tokujin Yoshioka has a great instinct for space alteration.
