出生于1967年的日本设计师Tokujin Yoshioka给我们分享了他的最新作品。椅子是从7根线上生成。灵感来自芥川龙之介写的一个故事，一名下地狱的罪犯曾经拯救了一只蜘蛛，佛祖于是决定给这名罪犯一次机会，让蜘蛛从天堂织网到地域，使得罪犯可以爬上天堂。在故事中，蜘蛛是微小和脆弱的象征，但是却具有力量。在这个艺术作品中，借用类似的理念，用如同蜘蛛网一样的线在空中拉出一个尽量被简化的椅子三维草图，然后让晶体自由生长在线上，最后诞生出天然晶体椅子。

Tokujin Yoshioka的作品被认为超越产品设计，建筑和展览的界限，成为艺术。他的作品被世界上许多博物馆包括MOMA收藏。获奖众多，受到日本媒体的高度认可。

A chair created from seven threads.

In the story “the spider’s thread” written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the Buddha decides to give one chance to a criminal in hell who did a good deed of saving a spider when he was alive. The Buddha takes a thread of a spider in Heaven and lowers it down to Hell　so that the criminal can climb up from the Hell to the Paradise. In the story, a thread of a spider is a symbol of slight hope and fragility. In the process of making “VENUS – natural crystal chair (2008)”, a chunk of fiber was used for growing crystals. However, “Spider’s thread” applies the structure of natural crystals in an advanced way aiming to produce a form even closer to the natural form. Seven threads are stretched and tighten between the frame like a spider’s web, and draw a three dimensional sketch of a chair in the air. By growing crystals on this structure made by only seven thin threads, it becomes a crystal structure that set a form of a chair. Simplifying the volume of its form as much as possible and following the natural form, a sculpture of chair will appear formed by the power of nature.
