Artist Statement
Leather cushion (sold individually)
"Art meets function in this sculputural cushion set. A floor cushion with a twist, Wisada, utterly unique in its concept and aesthetic, encourages socializing in a traditional, yet contemporary environment. Wisada is a hybrid piece of furniture that exemplifies the difference between Eastern and Western transportion traditions.
Wisada encourages people to interact with each other through an interactive experience, and is the first product to introduce the bicycle seat inside the home for both men and women. It is in turn breaking cultural boundaries with its though-provoking concept."
