Miko Armchair by Tsuguji Sasaki: Elegant Steam-Bent Wood Design
By
Dezeen staff
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The Miko armchair, designed by Tsuguji Sasaki for Bendi Bangkok, exemplifies elegant simplicity with its steam-bent solid wood construction. The chair features a gently waved backrest that follows the spine's contour, made from ash, oak, or beech wood. Steam bending, a specialty of the brand, ensures a seamless and lightweight frame.
