Tokujin Yoshioka: THE MAN

A Japanese master of minimalism, I recently came upon some of Yoshioka's works. It's breathtaking. The time and creativity that this man has is something that I cannot begin to grasp.

Hello, Mr. Yoshioka!

First there's the Rainbow Church:

It's an 80 ft wall of crystal prisms that are designed to reflect rainbows. It will be showcased in South Korea later this year. This man created THAT, and now only that, but he's also created what drew me to him initially...  Waterfall, the largest glass table created from optical glass that's used to make the most powerful of telescopes.

According to FastCompany.com, the table was inspired by water running down a sheer wall. It's essentially a single slab of glass that has been polished to bring out each ripple.

Here's another photo of the same process that he used whilst making a bench..

The winner of best designer by Design Miami, he's making it seem like Museum.beyond museum is a stop that I'm going to have to take in South Korea as well!
