Meet The Designer
Yuzuru Yamakawa
Yuzuru Yamakawa built his practice around more than four decades of working with rattan. His understanding of the material informed a distinctive approach to seating, combining woven surfaces with slender frames and an emphasis on ergonomics. His designs continue to be produced for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Yuzuru Yamakawa: Form and Comfort
Japanese designer Yuzuru Yamakawa spent more than 40 years designing and working with rattan. Rather than treating the material as a decorative element, his work demonstrates an understanding of how its flexibility and woven construction can be used to shape comfortable seating.
Yamakawa's chairs and stools are characterised by slender frames and woven seats that give the furniture a visually light structure. Across his work, the relationship between the frame, woven surface and the body remains central, reflecting his longstanding focus on both rattan and ergonomics. Contemporary versions extend this design language to materials suited to outdoor use.
