Ancient twin armchairs, with seats made out of mosaic.
A fantasia of ancient fabric, reproducing small pattern-like bouquet.
Small marble tiles shape the "stone fabric”, creating a smooth flow to the point of making the surface to look like a fabric.
To the eyes, it looks like a soft pillow, but once touched or sit on it, it turns out as a mosaic.
*All pieces are handmade, so the colours and shapes of the patterns may vary.
* The chair used in this piece is a one-off antique. The price of the artwork may vary depending on the price of the chair.
Born in Niigata (Japan) in 1981, she graduated in Environment Design at the Tama Art University.
She moved to Italy, to study the mosaic at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna.
The concept behind her body of work, is to reproduce with mosaic the textures of different kinds of material.
Through the use of mosaic, she re-enacts the appearance and volume of wood or fabric, briefly deceiving the viewer's eye which, once touched the work, realizes it’s not what it seemed to be. This creates a particular kind of “imbalance” between what the viewers feel and what they see, creating surprise and amusement — the latter being a very important element, that must be present in the work.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
