A bench that investigates the interplay between being transparent and solid, the wooden lattice builds up the legs and with the natural spacing it plays with both light and shadow. From some angles the legs will appear as a closed surface, while from another they may appear very transparent. The construction is inspired by the shutters and covers that are used in architecture to control light and the calming repetitions creates an overall clear architectural feeling, which you often find in front of traditional Japanese stores and restaurants.
