Loku Chair by Shin Azumi

Japanese designer Shin Azumi designed the Loku Chair making good use of the efficient methods of three dimensional (3D) veneer ply technology, which allows the seat to be moulded into a shape, making it both comfortable and supportive. The moulded seat and back is made from a thin plywood veneer that can be shaped when heated into tight curves to stiffen the material. The Loku chair is available with a wood & metal or steel tube base, in oak or walnut plywood. The chair was designed for both commercial and residential use providing variations to accommodate the different uses. The Loku Range was awarded the prestigious Design Guild Mark Award in 2016.
