The Seat/Table That Created a Global Art Movement by Zaishu Design Studio
Launched in 2004 by Australian designers Matthew Butler and Helen Punton, Zaishu Design Studio uses furniture design to celebrate culture and foster social unity. Their Zaishu seat/table, inspired by the slotted wood beams found in Japanese Buddhist temples, is designed using five interconnecting panels. Instigating a global art movement, the studio has collaborated with Indian sign-writers, graffiti artists, tribal artists and school children in the creation of Zaishu's ornately designed hand-painted and silk-screened panels.
