Japan works ~ a new summer #furniture package completed for a wonderful beachside property in #Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
Using stunning #japanesecedar or #sugi – a common yet loved material in Japan; our aim was to let the beauty of the material do the talking, simple assemblage with structural clarity and posture. Subtle connection details allow the material to be celebrated – its striking aesthetic character, the lightness when the chair is lifted, the softness when sat on, the warmth when viewed.
The furniture is extremely economical – minimal processing and minimal materials. It is strong – each connection uses a single sided lap join with structural ‘bracing’ in each direction. #zerowaste – each part is sized to achieve near zero off cuts.
