Description

The Milan-Ashima concept is the wedding of two very distinct styles of furniture into a post-post-modern piece that seems to loose the visual representation of both of its conceptual parents in a psychedelic symphony of wiggles and color. It all started when I was say my first Nakashima piece in person (a Conoid Desk) and was blow away and could not understand what about it held my attention and its own charm. I wanted to breath to the irregularity and looseness of some Nakashima pieces that I love so much into a piece of my own without being trite or obvious. My undying love for Sottsass and the Memphis movement’s use of color was the way to make this piece truly fresh and idiosyncratic. The result was the table here, a current contender for the “Weirdest Table” award from the Guinness Book Of World Records.
