This exquisite bench draws inspiration from the principles of materiality, purism, and Japanese design. Crafted from Italian chestnut wood and concrete, it showcases the perfect balance of natural elegance and minimalist beauty. Handmade in Germany, this one-of-a-kind collector’s piece emphasizes clean lines and thoughtful craftsmanship, making it a statement in any space.
Reworked antique Italian wood floors, recovered from old buildings in northern Italy – combined with brutalist concrete fragments: A clash of two worlds.
Rooted in our practice, we regularly create concrete objects, using our specialized reinforcement techniques. Inspired by unique materials and Japanese design principles we wanted to incorporate antique wood into our design, to add warmth and character. As a result this bench was brought to life, using fragments of antique Italian chestnut floors, giving them a new life, while also using their features to direct the design process of a modern counterpart, using uniquely shaped concrete.
