Description
Japanese designer Shin Azumi designed the Loku Chair making good use of three dimensional ply veneer technology, which allows the seat to be moulded into a comfortable and supportive shape. The seat and back is made from a thin plywood veneer that can be shaped when heated into tight curves to stiffen the material.
