Major Art Heist in Athens

And the Design Creator of the Year Is….
We like to pay attention to the Maison & Objet Creator of the Year prize every year. Usually, its recipients wind up museum halls (if they aren’t already!) and influence the creation of some of the great art spaces in the world. Édouard François, the last year’s recipient is one of most renowned green art designers on the planet, and this year’s victor is…Tokujin Yoshioka who’s even more renowned. Yoshioka’s works are already in the collections of Musée d'Orsay, MoMA, Centre Georges Pompidou, and Cooper Hewitt.  The Japanese great is celebrating winning the prestigious prize by putting on a "Crystalized Project” show that showcase his key pieces that draw relationship between "power of nature and human beings”. The highlights of the exhibition will include his astounding “Venus- Natural Crystal Chair” among other coveted pieces.
