Daisuke Yamamoto designs the FLOW furniture collection

Tokyo-based, Japanese designer Daisuke Yamamoto, utilised discarded Lightweight Gauge Steel (LGS), commonly used in construction framing systems, to create the FLOW furniture collection. The design prioritises deconstruction to avoid a ‘scrap and build’ construction process. Yamamoto advocates for a ‘fluid material lifecycle minimising industrial waste’ approach, seeking to shift from a conventional ‘think → build → waste’ model to a more sustainable ‘waste → think → recreate’ process.
