“The idea of making a dining room table emerged when I was thinking about people coming together at a dining room table—When another person joins a number of people sitting around a table, their conversation will change according to the unique qualities and interests the newcomer will bring with them, just like adding another ingredient to a dish one is cooking will change the overall flavours." - Rio Kobayashi
