Tokyo Multifunctional Bench

Tokyo

Tokyo is a multifunctional bench designed for home entryways. Tokyo combines seating with a shoe rack, so footwear, bags and daily items can be stored within a small footprint. A curved top tray follows the line of the cushion and holds everyday objects. The bench is made of pressed FSC birch plywood with natural oak veneer, milled by CNC for precision and finished with non-toxic oils. The cushion is upholstered in recycled polyester. Tokyo ships flat packed and can be assembled by one person with ten screws.

Tokyo Multifunctional Bench by João Teixeira has been selected as a creative illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Tokyo Multifunctional Bench earned the Golden A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2026. The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious international design recognition program which honors excellent design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
