Dyad

Dyad is a lounge chair which is composed of two sheets. This is structured by depending each other to become complete figure and this idea can be completed with linking two sheets each other.
Molding sheets of lightweight veneer into gently curved shapes gives the hard material a soft, inviting appearance.

F/W

I have always been fascinated by natural shape of trees and falling leaves. Especially, connecting variety of branches like module is interesting. The stand made of anodized aluminum has all details and feeling of trees and falling leaves. As all connected parts aren't exposed, it is to be simple and proved one's real worth.
