Sakura backed bench

Thorbjörn Andersson

Although Sakura could have been made for one of the great landscape gardens of Japan, it was actually designed for parks and coastlines in the Western world. This elegant bench is crafted from slats of varying widths that form a single curve, creating the seat and backrest in one unit. The legs are grouped in pairs that distribute the bench’s weight laterally rather than anchoring it to either side. Sakura is fully customisable.
