Kyoko Okubo

Bathroom,
6"x9"x12"(HxWxD); Washi paper sclpture

Kyoko Okubo's small, gentle figures are meticulous crafted from washi, the traditional paper of Japan. Her diminutive, symbolic self-portraits resonate with intensity and challenge the imagination. There is something compeling and fragile about her works that makes us want to see more.

Hextable
recycled cardboard

Designed by Wilson Brothers for Stussy, Hextable is an occasional table made from two identical components that is folded and locked into place. Fully recyclable, the honeycomb core table is incredibly light at 1.2kg, yet strong structurally.

Hextable is comissioned for Stussy Japan, after the success of the limited edition Stussy Chairfix created for the Stussy store in London. The product is hand screen printed in London with a Stussy pattern.
