Super Fiber Revolution





SUPER FIBER REVOLUTION by Tokujin Yoshioka.

HINT: Crystallized snowscape!

"Tokujin’s approach towards structures of the future follows the the idea that, to achieve great strength small light fibers should be systematically organized. This approach differs to the common belief that hard materials should be used. the principle is similar to that of the japanese art ‘aikido’, in which strength is generated by diverting force through a circular movement. the rug design is made from weaving various transparent fibers together, the design suggests a crystalized snowscape."*
