Ruy Ohtake (1938-2021), one of Brazil’s most important architects, transitioned from concrete to steel in his furniture designs, emphasizing structural independence. The Banco Onda exemplifies this shift, where Ohtake used fluid, organic curves enabled by laminated steel, offering high strength with minimal thickness. This approach allowed the architect to achieve a distinctive visual lightness, giving the impression that the bench is floating or barely touching the ground. The design maintains a sense of effortless elegance, reflecting Ohtake’s commitment to innovation. Through this piece, he preserved the unique and forward-thinking aesthetic that became a hallmark of his distinguished career.
