Tuyomoko Lounger by Frank Gehry for Emeco

Frank Gehry’s Tuyomyo project with Emeco for The Hereditary Disease Foundation is a sleek bench that is almost more of a sculpture than seating. But as Gehry said, “The form has to be free and light. It must be structural, and at the same time poetic. And a little dangerous.”
