Yayoi Kusama Furniture by graf | Decorative Mode no.3

2017 Mixed Media

It seems the collection consisted of a single sofa, a double sofa and a coffee table, I have found some images with a floor lamp, but no details on the actual catalogue, from retail archives.

This particular set I found hidden at the end of a retrospective that was tied to Kusama’s exhibition at the National Art Gallery in Tokyo titled: My Eternal Soul.

Yayoi Kusama: My Eternal Soul exhibition at The National Art Center in Tokyo, featured 132 paintings from Kusama’s “My Eternal Soul” series.

 To accompany the exhibition, a retrospective through 80 works, starting with drawings she did back in her hometown Matsumoto to today.

Also part of the “icing” there was the mass favorite "Infinite Mirror Room". Videos, sketches and sculptures sprinkled around and to say auf Wiedersehen, adieu, the living room she did in collaboration with “Graf” a cooperative creative from Osaka, using her "Yellow Tree" pattern design
