GGO Biomorphic Lobby Furniture

GGO Biomorphic

Located in Grand Green Osaka, this biomorphic bench is a 16 meter monumental seating system crafted from Japanese oak. The project utilizes advanced digital fabrication to assemble over 6,000 individual parts into 29 organic units. A proprietary concealed joint system successfully hides all metal fasteners. This sculptural public furniture merges traditional manual craftsmanship with parametric computational design, functioning seamlessly as both a relaxing bench and a vibrant planter within the lobby space.

GGO Biomorphic Lobby Furniture by Yoko Komatsu was highlighted as a creative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award. GGO Biomorphic Lobby Furniture received the Golden A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2026. The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious international design recognition program that honors outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
