Designer<br />
Toyo Ito is regarded as one of the world's most<br />
innovative and influ<strong>en</strong>tial architects and is particularly<br />
appreciated for creating and elaborating extreme<br />
architectural concepts in which he combines the<br />
physical and virtual worlds. In 2013, Ito was awarded the<br />
prestigious Pritzker Prize.<br />
His collaboration with Horm dates back to 2003, but<br />
is undoubtedly destined to be remembered for many<br />
years to come. Ito's commitm<strong>en</strong>t to exploring new forms<br />
and his poetic interpretation of natural archetypes led<br />
to the creation of the <strong>Ripples</strong> b<strong>en</strong>ch, an internationally<br />
awarded work that confirmed the importance for Horm<br />
of collaborating with great masters of design.<br />
