ELEMENT®

 Element is a strong, poetic collection including a chair, dining tables, low tables and console tables, designed for Desalto by sensitive, visionary Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka. The heart of the Element project lies in the single central support for the table, a metal parallelepiped that is reminiscent in its form of the minerals and quartzes found in nature, positioned at a slant, teetering between the base and the top as though almost challenging the laws of gravity.

 

 

 

 

Tokujin Yoshioka has experimented extensively with the process of growing crystals to create different furniture forms (as seen in his ‘venus’ natural crystal chair which designboom covered here and here). In continuing with this exploration, he has translated that research into abstracted representations of the natural structures expressed in the form of the ‘element’ chair collection. Each piece is based on a metal elongated box which stands as the central support between base and top.

SALTO designed by James Irvine

 

 

MIMMO designed by James Irvine

James Irvine was a designer with a precise design language, proportions and signs which were waiting to be applied also to marble. The idea to create a new collection, Marsotto edizioni, was born from the meeting between Marsotto and Irvine, thanks to the empathy between them and the fascinating power of an ancient and extraordinary material.
