Home decor has been rapidly evolving into very detailed and futuristic designs, and this Tokujin Yoshioka 'The Invisibles' series is a prime example of bringing the unusual into the living room. Designer Tokujin Yoshioka has created this unique furniture collection for Kartell by making use of their polycarbonate technology.

The Tokujin Yoshioka 'The Invisibles' collection includes benches, tables, sofas, tables and armchairs--all of which are completely transparent. This is also the first clear collection to have ever been manufactured at such a hefty thickness.
