Do I actually have female readers? Well, if you exist, this is for you. In particular, this is for my friend… let’s call her “Smurfette” since she can’t reveal her true identity for fear of the Paparazzi finding her here in Buenos Aires… yeah, that’s you Smurfette.

On April 25th of this year at the Milano Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Tokujin Yoshioka revealed his Bouquet Chair as part of the Moroso Collection.

The Bouquet chair is an evolution of the designer’s previous tissue installation held in the Moroso Showroom last year. In that installation, a wall was covered by over 30,000 sheets of tissue to create a softer and more engaging space. Yoshioka has applied the same intent to this chair. The fabric squares, or petals, allow the chair’s user to feel embraced, evoking a similar feeling to that of receiving a bouquet of flowers.

The petals of the chair are designed to return to their original form once a person stands up – just one of many details that make this creation such a great design. Yoshioka explains that “the new chair Bouquet uplifts the sitter as well as a flower bouquet does it to the receiver. The vibrant colors would evoke one’s remembrance.”

Remembrance, indeed. This design will be hard to forget.
