The Benchy Bench by MARCO CALHAU is an exploration of textures.
Through the use of now a days carving tools, Marco Calhau has created a language that intersects sculpture and furniture.
Inspired by surf boards, human textures and Paleolithic silex stones, Benchy is a two seated bench, that aims to wait, relax, observe but keep you in an active-relaxed mood.
The flat surfaces of the vegetable based oiled beech timber are interrupted by the big rounded shapes of the cushions that gives a more comfy place to seat, two magnetic pillows armrests have been projected to let the user use it as a place to write, draw or just place his hand.
Hand motioned machine carved surfaces.
