Kansai Airports has installed “Muskoka Chairs” and “Timber Tiles” in Terminal 1 of Kansai International Airport.
This initiative is part of the “EXPO Legacy Project,” which aims to carry on, through the airport even after the Expo, the cultures, values, and sustainability messages shared by countries at the Osaka–Kansai Expo 2025. The pieces have been relocated from the Canada Pavilion of the Osaka–Kansai Expo.
The “Muskoka Chairs” are red chairs installed at national historic sites and national parks across Canada. The “Timber Tiles” are environmentally friendly wooden tiles made from hemlock harvested on Canada’s west coast using sustainable methods. Following five years of research, they achieve high durability while remaining lightweight, making the most of the natural wood grain and color tones unique to solid wood.
The installation site is near Gates 17 and 18 in the international departures restricted area on the second floor. The exhibition period is planned to last for more than three years.
