The Edo Collection has a strong Japanese influence and is named after the Edo period in
Japan. The Edo period was equivalent to the Georgian period in Britain, and much garden
development occurred during this period. Many gardens still remain from this period
throughout Japan, especially in around Kyoto. The profile of the seat is taken from a
feature found on a wooden balustrade at Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto. The seat back is
reminiscent of the sun and the suns rays rising over the Japanese landscape and incorporates
the simple rectangle common in Japanese furniture and architecture.
The Large Edo seat makes a superb focal point at the end of a vista but looks equally good in
an intimate area of the garden or as seating in a reception area in an office or restaurant.
