Tuyomyo Bench by Frank Gehry for Emeco

gehry-main

Acclaimed architect Frank Gehry collaborated with furniture design and manufacturing company Emeco to design the Tuyomyo Bench, which was revealed at Milan Design Week 09. The lightweight aluminum bench is a flowing, sculptural piece that recalls Gehry’s signature style. Emeco manufactured the bench using 80% recycled aluminum. Of the form, Gehry said, “ it has to be free and light. It must be structural and at the same time poetic and a little dangerous.” The Tuyomyo bench will be auctioned in May, with proceeds benefitting the Leslie Gehry Brenner Hereditary Disease Foundation.
