Mantilla, the sofa of designer Kazuhide Takahama, vives an evocative and cosmic creative process. Creating with the sun, using the Fresnel lens, radiating the energy through a ray of sunlight on the Mantilla’s chenille, making the piece fly in a timeless space. The ray of white light, source of ability to see, becomes the creative medium that creates the lines through the lens movement around the sofa. The process creates a contrasts game, over a chenille where the contrast and reflection make it changing over the day, linking into the point of view from which it is experienced and to the enlightenment it gets, making it become a unique and iconic piece.
