Situated in private house in Tokyo, the waterfall bar is another example of Yoshioka’s talent and eye for materials.
Covering the facade of the space is the work of Olafur Eliasson, the entire surface is made from what looks like black, shiny crystal which creates shimmering reflections and a deeply textured surface.
On the inside, the main feature of the space is Yoshioka’s 4.2m long solid glass bar top (which weighed 1000kg). The surface of the bar top looks slightly rippled and looking at it, one really gets the impression of looking into a pool of water. As with the facade, the play of light and reflections is one of the important features of this piece, with colourful reflections dappling the walls and floor.
