Wooden Benches: Art and Utility

In the realm of furniture, wooden benches stand as a testament to how craftsmanship seamlessly meets function. Wood, with its timeless appeal, lends itself beautifully to designs that are as much about aesthetics as they are about utility. Whether it’s the raw architectural might of the Brutalist style, the pared-down elegance of Minimalist design, or the balanced innovations inspired by Bauhaus, wooden benches effortlessly elevate living spaces, making them both beautiful and practical.

The tabletop is made of natural oak, and the base of the table, resembling concrete in appearance, is made by pouring solid mass.

The entire structure of the table is manufactured at the same time, so that the two materials join together smoothly and precisely to avoid any gaps. After the product dries, it is scrubbed, and the tabletop is oiled.
