Futaba
In Japanese, Futaba means "double leaves sprout from one seed." It's a fitting description for Akemi Tanaka's design in which a loveseat opens from a coffee table. Her other seating/table creation called Tagei means "versatility." Created for small space living, these dual function pieces offer convenience, flexibility and smart design.

The wood used in this furniture is a bamboo plywood. It's a sustainable resource because bamboo is a grass that can be harvested without killing the plant.
