Tomoko Azumi Has Designed A Boat-Shaped Garden Chair From Steam-Bent Wood

Sir John Sorrell, Chairman of London Design Festival, together with the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), invited leaders of London’s cultural institutions to collaborate with some of the world’s most prolific designers to create a ‘Legacy’ piece of design – an object of personal or professional relevance to them.

As part of the Legacy project, Kwame Kwei-Armah CBE, Artistic Director of The Young Vic, asked Tomoko Azumi of tna design studio, to create a sculptural seat for his garden that his grandson would be able to touch or sit in long after he was gone.
