The chair is made from copper pillars stacked on top of one another and then soldered into place. The beauty of the chair comes from the light reflecting through the individual pillars. The Construction Chair is not the only intriguing [metal chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair) that Kouichi Okamoto has created, there is also the [wire-based chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) titled Composition Chair.
