'AP' by london-based, japanese born designer shin azumi for italian manufacturer lapalma,
is a stool with a mono-coque structure, created from a single sheet of plywood.
the aim of the design is to maximize functionality within a minimal structure.
the seat and body seamlessly merge from one to the other in a single fluid motion.
the stool has a large contact area between itself and the floor to disperse pressure
and increase the stability.
