ukiyo low table
Design Tomita Kazuhiko,
2006
Co-moulded polyester resin tabletops decorated with the patterns used in kimonos. An aesthetic which is elegant and defined, inspired by Ukiyo, one of the most well-known cultural movements of the 18th Century. Related to shintoist realism, which states that nothing can remain unchanged for long, Ukiyo , living every moment to its fullest as a way to reach eternal life, as contradictory as that may sound. From this perspective, flowering becomes the most joyous, radiant period when the maximum amount of energy spreads all around. However, no one can say whether the just bloomed flower will still be alive a moment later.

Agostino Moroso, with his wife, Diana, founded the Moroso company in 1952 with an artisanal approach to making sofas, armchairs and furnishing accessories. Their iconic designs have propelled them within the upholstered furniture market, with help from a long list of well known designers: Ron Arad, Patricia Urquiola, Ross Lovegrove, Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo H?berli, Toshiyuki Kita, Marcel Wanders and others. Each piece maintains a noticeable Moroso style while representing other cultures as well. Its international outlook has landed Moroso into the MoMA in New York, Le Palais de Tokyo, the Grand Palais in Paris.
