Bench2 by Jo Nagasaka of Tokyo-based Schemata Architecture Office is made of six chairs and a plank of wood.

“A chair+ a (duck-legged) chair+ a chair+ a chair+ a chair+ a chair ⇒ a bench,” explains Nagasaka.

The bench was exhibited at the New Tokyo Contemporaries exhibition at the Shin-Marunouchi building in Marunouchi, Tokyo, last month.
