The idea was to show the true value of plastic, not as garbage but as possibility. While walking beneath the red gates of Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, the designer was struck by the pure, elemental form of the torii gate\u2014a threshold that invites movement yet offers moments of stillness. That feeling of entering a calmer space became the soul of the bench\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p>Translating that emotion into outdoor furniture produced a minimal silhouette: two upright \u201cpillars\u201d and a floating \u201clintel,\u201d abstracted into a light, architectural profile. The rhythm of the bench is defined by parallel recycled\u2011plastic lumbers that cast subtle shadows, have soft edges, and provide reassuring solidity under the hand. The result feels both familiar and new\u2014ceremonial in line, everyday in use.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Aliasgar Aboojiwala<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-578392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/09\/bench-turns-plastic-waste-into-beautiful-outdoor-furniture\/torii-bench-012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/09\/14\/bench-turns-plastic-waste-into-beautiful-outdoor-furniture\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Bench turns plastic waste into beautiful outdoor furniture\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/09\/bench-turns-plastic-waste-into-beautiful-outdoor-furniture\/torii-bench-012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-578392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/09\/bench-turns-plastic-waste-into-beautiful-outdoor-furniture\/torii-bench-012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/09\/14\/bench-turns-plastic-waste-into-beautiful-outdoor-furniture\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Bench turns plastic waste into beautiful outdoor furniture\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/09\/bench-turns-plastic-waste-into-beautiful-outdoor-furniture\/torii-bench-012.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;

The bench ships flat\u2011pack: legs fold inward with adjusted hole placements and hardware that makes assembly tool\u2011simple and intuitive. This reduces shipping volume and carbon cost, and makes installation painless for individuals and communities. For those seeking added comfort, the Torii Bench offers three expressions within the same design language: a pure architectural seat, a quietly cushioned version for longer pauses, and a lounge\u2011style option with a soft arm\u2011rest bolster for unhurried conversations.
