Piero Lissoni

“This project originates from the idea of the beauty and dignity of these large wooden planks, which remind you of what they once were-trees. I envisioned this carpenter’s joint, as if these trees I lay on the floor were to become furniture.”

Nui
Natural Genius
Nui, from the Japanese word meaning “to sew,” perfectly captures the mood of this project, which reflects on the concept of connections expressed through a minimal sign that evokes the Japanese culture and the art of Sashimono, the traditional system of dry wood joinery, which literally means “things united.”
