The French Japanese artist's botanical expressions were a timely match for a similarly themed furniture collection by Italian brand Paola Lenti. Together, they form the perfect balancing act, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors through a series of objects, artworks and showings in a recurring exhibition titled Outside Inside in Tokyo. "[The collaboration] just came naturally, to be honest.... Once we put the drawings together, they matched really well with the furniture," says Yoshikawa.
