A FUSION OF FUNCTION AND CRAFT

The Sculptural Timber Bench is a bold design statement, seamlessly blending form and function to create a piece that commands attention in public spaces such as art galleries, museums, exhibition centres, and hotel foyers. Inspired by simplicity, the bench employs a striking arch that supports a cantilevered horizontal beam, evoking a sense of elegance and stability. Crafted from laminated tropical hardwoods, the design repurposes offcuts into sculptural art, giving new life to discarded materials. The result is a functional piece that is as much a work of art as it is a seat, offering a strong presence in any space.

Built to withstand the test of time, the bench is crafted from durable materials that are warm to the touch and virtually maintenance-free, making it a practical choice for high-traffic public environments. Its sculptural beauty, combined with its functional design, ensures that it stands as a striking yet useful feature in any public space.

A smaller version of this timber bench is also envisioned as a must-have for residential entrance foyers, especially for older adults. This piece addresses the practical need for seating when removing or putting on footwear, a custom deeply rooted in Asian culture. The design aims to tidy up entrance areas, which are often cluttered with footwear of all sizes and shapes, by providing a dedicated space for residents and visitors to sit comfortably while following the tradition of shoe removal before entering the home.

The Sculptural Timber Bench is more than just furniture; it’s a meaningful reflection of the everyday rituals and cultural customs that define contemporary life. It embodies the importance of functionality, tradition, and design, offering a solution that is both practical and elegant.
