Product: O’Hara Studio Chopu Seat

By

When O’Hara Studio cofounder Sean O’Hara finalizes a design, he travels to Indonesia to train a group of master craftsmen to produce the sculptural furniture or product. The shape of his seating piece Chopu, inspired by the name of the surfer-coveted Tahitian wave, emulates the movement of water. Comprising multiple layers of wood that form a radiating pattern, this indoor bench stands 15″ tall, 38″ wide, and 31.5″ deep. oharastudio.com
