Originally developed for MEGU, the Japanese restaurant in the Alpina Hotel, in Gstaad (Switzerland), the Torii armchair makes a clear reference to the traditional doors at the entrance of Japanese Shinto temples. Forms have been revisited to subtly remind us of that world and then translated into a new soft form bridging East and West.

Aoyama, "Blue Mountain" in Japanese, is a district of Tokyo with a particularly vivid Zen culture. Standing on three thin legs, the overlapping blue-tinted glass table tops convey a sense of pureness and delicacy to the table. The silhouette floats and recalls the neighborhood’s spiritual atmosphere.
