Bent Wire Seating

Kouichi Okamoto's 'Composition Chair' is Entirely Handmade

This 'Composition Chair' is one of the latest wonders from Kyouei Design. Kouichi Okamoto and his Japanese firm have designed this unusual, one-of-a-kind chair made of aluminium wire.

The most fascinating part about the design of the 'Composition Chair' is that it's entirely handmade--that means no welding and no bolts whatsoever. A jig and a pair of pliers were the only tools used.
