near the beginning of 2008, designboom featured the sayama flat by schemata architects. this unusual apartment renovation blended rich traditional japanese materials with raw concrete and other building materials. ‘bench2’ is a furniture project designed by the studio demonstrating a similar juxtaposition. 6 chairs were converted into one long bench by removing the seat pans of the individual chairs and replacing them with one long plank. the bench was exhibited at ‘new tokyo contemporaries’ in marunouchi, tokyo.
