Guest of Honour at Interieur 2010, Junya Ishigami introduced his new, light and white world in Kortrijk. His Picnic project is especially different, beautiful and fascinating. With its Ishigami dips its toes in a new world of architecture and design, a world where there is room for poetry, precision, technology and art.

Few words by Ishigami: “A number of different chairs with various kinds of upholstery and dressing, create a background for people, friends or family to come together and celebrate. Chairs embrace or turn away from each other, or form a line and hold hands. They may even form a circle around the garden. Distorted chairs around the table look like a family talking to each other and enjoying the table... Table and chairs are installed in the space as if to create a scene of nature, or crowds of people.?Usually, furniture is considered a tool for people, and it can become no more than a background within the space. Here, I want to propose celebratory furniture that blends in with the activity of people and into the surrounding environment. It will be joyful furniture picnic.”
