Toronto-based design studio WOOYOO has created the Fuwafuwa series of furniture. The experimental furniture units are made with translucent corrugated plastic and light-toned oak wood.
From the designers, “The corrugated plastic is a material that is commonly used for commercial signs, political promotions and for making containers or packaging. This material has generally been used functionally but rarely recognized as an aesthetic material. As the corrugation already provides a durable structure and has characteristics of lightness, it has the potential to become an aesthetically pleasing and sensible furniture piece.
The translucent feature of the material in FuwaFuwa Series presents ambiguity and subtraction from our vision through optical diffusion. From this subtraction, eyes are naturally drawn to the serenity in the material texture of oak wood. When the furniture is used, it advises being in a state of calm attentiveness.”
