One of the most influential creatives living in the world today, Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka has transformed the way we experience the world around us. His invaluable impact on the design world prompted Maison&Objet to honor him with the NOW! Design à Vivre 2012 Creator of the Year award where he has shown Crystalized Project, a visionary collection of crystal objects which investigate the mutual dependency that exists between human memories and natural phenomena.
