Toyo Ito, the Japanese architect and designer, is universally recognized as one of the most innovative and influential minds in the field. His fame is tied to the creation and development of extreme architectural concepts that emphasize the sensuality of the works, skillfully integrating the physical world with the virtual one.
In 2013, Toyo Ito was awarded the Pritzker Prize for architecture, recognizing “the air of optimism, lightness, and joy infused into his architecture”. His style is a harmonious blend of solidity and transparency, substance and ether, sensuality and cold technology. These elements have found an ally in Plexiglas, a material endowed with strength and versatility, as well as transparencies and elegant lines that offer engaging perceptual experiences.
Toyo Ito also dedicates himself to interior design, conducting research on the tactile and visual potentials of materials and the relationship between enclosure and structure. The lightness of his works, which evoke air and wind, is clearly evident in his projects realized in collaboration with Metea: the Matsumoto Coffee Table represents an exclusive masterpiece of immeasurable value, thanks to its unique characteristics accentuated by the transparency of Plexiglas.
