摘要：吉冈德仁1967年出生于日本南部九州岛的佐贺县(Saga)，在当地传统工艺和民俗的熏陶下，年幼时的吉冈德仁就已经确立了未来成为一名设计师的志向。1983年，吉冈德仁进入东京的桑泽设计学校(Kuwasawa Design School)学习室内设计和工业设计，并在这里遇到了对他有知遇之恩的老师，已故日本设计大师仓俣史郎(Shiro Kuramata，1934-1991)。

　　学生时代的吉冈德仁就有一个让人惊讶的生存技能——竞赛，在东京学习期间他居然靠不断赢取大大小小的竞赛养活了自己。1986年毕业后，吉冈德仁开始在仓俣史郎的事务所工作；1988年，在仓俣史朗的推荐下，吉冈德仁来到了另一位日本设计大师三宅一生的事务所工作，虽然吉冈德仁从未接受过任何有关解剖学或者服装设计的专业训练，但他对人体的平衡、运动、感觉，甚至情感都有着与生俱来的感悟力，三宅一生回忆说：“我早就知道，只要我几天没见吉冈君，当他忽然出现在我眼前的时候，总能给我看一些‘好东西’。他带给我的从来就只有惊喜。”

　　这种“惊喜”的感觉，几乎在吉冈德仁的每件作品中都能体会到。

A series of long thin mirrors at various angles assembled into a collage create a fleeting mirage as users walk by and interact with it.

Created for Italian furnishing brand LEMA at Milan’s Salone del Mobile 2013, the modular Mirage can easily be transformed thanks to a clever coupling system.

“Each module is finished with a polishing that reminds us of classic mirror manufacturing, combining modernity and tradition; a complement that becomes a work of art and an innovative interpretation of a traditional piece of furnishing that is carried on with subtlety and lightheartedness.” says Yoshioka.

being shown at the 2013 salone internazionale del mobile in milan is ‘mirage’ for italian company lema – a shimmering collage of mirrored plates
designed by renowned japanese designer tokujin yoshioka. lined side by side, each panel is able to be manipulated and arranged at various positions
and angles, transforming the initial structure into several glimmering iterations – enabled by the specially designed modular coupling system.
‘mirage’ is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional mirror manufacturing, merging the disciplines of art and design in one cohesive piece.
