Hara created a series of tables that appeared solid from one angle but completely transparent from another. By manipulating the refractive index of liquid glass embedded with micro-fine bubbles, she produced furniture that seemed to dematerialize as you walked by. Domus magazine called it "a meditation on the unreliability of memory." Within a week, three pieces were acquired by the Vitra Design Museum.
For exhibition schedules and gallery representation, collectors are advised to contact Taka Ishii Gallery (Kyoto & Tokyo) or follow the Chitose Hara Archive Project (CHAP), a non-profit digital registry documenting her authenticated works. chitose hara
