metal and white concrete conglomerate and glass
Manufactured by Memphis in 1983, this Mod. Kyoto low table was designed using the traditional Terrazzo technique, which incorporates colored stone to create a distinctive texture. Kuramata aimed to push the boundaries of materiality, creating a piece with a strong sense of lightness and minimalism, reinforced by the using of glass instead of stone. The adaptation of a traditional technique and the selection of peculiar materials highlights the designer's contemporary approach, blending simplicity and elegance drawn from the Japanese culture.
