“Second Nature” is in short thinking about the future of design. In the past Tokujin has incorporated many laws that exist in nature, while attempting to explore the possibilities of technology. “Second Nature” combines both to create new forms of nature. This exhibition presents the works of 8 groups of creators, including Tokujin Yoshioka himself.
This video features the works of Makoto Azuma, Ross Lovegrove, Tokujin Yoshioka. We recommend visiting the exhibit if you can, more information can be found on www.2121designsight.jp

Inspired from the medical technics of cloning, “Cloning” is an authentic service of creating objects at your own image. The aesthetic of this collection is defined by the physical data taken on your body. To sum-up, instead of participating to the definition of a consensual aesthetic (which is the norm in the industry), this project tends to give back a central position to human nature. www.cinqcinqdesigners.com
