On Design for August

This month’s edition of my “On Design” column is in today’s THE JAPAN TIMES (or you can read it online here). This time, it’s all about chairs, benches, sofas, basically the tools that let you plop down and take a breather. I cover Hisanobu Tsujimura’s Kan chair, Yoshiharu Shimura’s En bench, Ken Watanabe’s Linkage Stool, and Muji’s Form-Fitting Sofa.
