The brand-new stool joins the family of seats created by Tokujin Yoshioka and is crafted using a mould which enables the recreation of a 3D net that overlaps and crosses over.
Thanks to a special injection technology, the layers of transparent or mass-dyed polycarbonate create a structure moulded in a single piece, which simulates a metallic net, with a painted or chrome-plated structure, painted with stainless steel for the outdoor version.
