Sakura Adachi is a Japanese designer based in Milan. Born in Japan, she spent her childhood in Los Angeles and later lived in London; she holds a BA from Musashino Art University and an MA in industrial design from Central Saint Martins. With a background in woodwork, she creates conceptual yet functional objects and has received Red Dot, German Design and Good Design awards.
For Riva 1920 she designed the J+I Zig+Zag Stool, a seat carved from a single block of scented cedar that rests on three triangular supports. Its simple, iconic geometry reflects her interest in objects that explain themselves without description.
