Tokujin Yoshioka reveals new photographs of Tokyo 2020 torch www.dezeen.com

Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka has revealed new details of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 torch, as the country prepares for the games this summer.
Yoshioka used an aluminium extrusion technique to make the torch.
"Part of the reason [for aluminium extrusion] was because I wanted to keep the design simple for the structure as well," Yoshioka added.
Yoshioka told Dezeen that he began work on the torch as soon as the Tokyo Olympics were announced, even before a competition for the project was launched.
I want to create a design that's beyond being functional, a design demanded from the society," he continued.
