SAND by Koichi Futatsumata Studio

Sep 20, 2021

SAND is a minimal plywood chair created by Tokyo-based practice Koichi Futatsumata Studio.

Its name "SAND" is derived from the composition of solid wood legs sandwiched between multiple molded plywood parts. With a backless type that does not have a back plate, you can sit from either a front or back seat. Combining together multiple parts, it is possible to develop various things, such as an armchair with a back and a bench with an attached side table.

A chair designed as part of Tendo Mokko’s 80th anniversary project ” TENDO JAPANESE MODERN / 80 PROJECT “.

The chair represents the most sacred meeting of form and function. From offices to dining tables, lounging to working, chairs are ubiquitous pieces of design. In the words of the late David Bowie “Why bother choosing a certain chair? Because that chair says something about you.”
