Koji Tatsuno - Koji Tatsuno - Sculpture, Oggetto d'arte puzzle origami d'archivio - 25 cm - Cardboard - 1991

Here is a genuine archival masterpiece of fashion and avant-garde design from the nineties. This extraordinary collectible art object was conceived and signed by the famous Japanese designer Koji Tatsuno and dates back to 1991. It is a sophisticated three-dimensional geometric structure conceived according to the complex constructive technique defined as puzzle-purse or modular origami. The object is composed of a series of rigid triangular panels in cardboard that open and close in a fluid way, transforming from a compact geometric shape into a spectacular star-shaped silhouette entirely decorated with authorial graphics and conceptual texts by the designer.

At the center of this splendid composition stands out the iconic red fluid heart motif. This specific visual element has extraordinary historical relevance as it is the original artwork that directly inspired the legendary cover of the alternative rock album Last Splash, released by the American band The Breeders in 1993. The absolute uniqueness of this lot lies in its extreme rarity and exclusivity on the international market. The object belongs to a strictly limited edition of only 300 numbered pieces worldwide, and this specific piece bears the number 216 hand-printed on the back together with the official author’s authenticity mark.

The entire set also includes its luxurious original rigid protective case, externally lined in deep black velvet. On the back of this elegant presentation box is hot-stamped the legendary official mark with the inscription Koji Tatsuno 03 93, certifying the originality of the art collection.

The object is in good overall vintage condition. The outer velvet retains its period charm, and the entire internal folding mechanism of the cardboard segments is perfectly functional, robust, and free from structural tears, keeping colors bright and vivid as in the original. The light and natural signs of time on the corners simply underscore its authentic archival status.
