Holo Pillar
DESIGN BY KENSAKU OSHIRO, 2020
Is there a hole or not? Everything would make you think not, yet a hole has a shape and occupies a space, just like an object. When asked to design a round version of the iconic Holo table, Kensaku Oshiro started again from that hole and from the oval shape, its distinctive feature, and created a base support for the top. Solid and sculptural, the base support is painted in the new “Exclusive colours” finishes, the result of research at the Kristalia powder-coating centre. More than a table, Holo Pillar is proof of the materiality of holes.
