DRIFT
by HIDEKI YOSHIMOTO
Drift captures the perpetual motion of water through cast glass infused with pigments while in its molten state. The flowing patterns recall the shifting currents of a river, suggesting both movement and transformation. No two panels are ever alike, as the molten pigments settle differently each time, preserving a singular moment of fluidity within solid form. The result is a meditation on change and continuity, where the permanence of glass holds within it the fleeting impression of flow.

HIDEKI YOSHIMOTO
Hideki Yoshimoto in 2015 founded Tangent, a London-based design and invention brand. The brand explores and proposes unique ideas which bring the latest technology to people’s lives to improve and help them. Interweaving technology with design at the most sophisticated level, Tangent promises a wholly novel yet somehow familiar experience. A tangent line does not dissect a curve but touches it at a given point. The brand's idea of 'new, familiar, luxurious' is undoubtedly represented in their products, which respect such tenderness and subtlety, as well as the strength of the point of contact.
