Simple yet seductive wooden form that provokes interaction; it is tactile and inviting. The object associates itself with a church Pew, and more broadly with religious ceremony amongst the monumental wall of Gothic architecture. Sitting on this bench may provoke a question of importance with religion and spirituality in modernity. Douglas Fir was used for this production, which was offered by a local wood Yard. This material did not align with furniture industry standards, and was considered as low-quality. The Shou Sugi Ban technique helped treat the surface and expose natural wooden relief, simultaneously building a powerful context. The object embraces minimalist harmony, constituted in natural material. Ordinary bench in form, yet aspires to a different object category.
