Bench in metal sheet with bent back and lacquered steel rod legs.
Softer than Steel
"A rigid metal sheet becomes light and flexible as if the metal were paper or fabric". Part of the surface lifts up and bends to create the chair's backrest.
Each piece in this collection embodies the elegance and simplicity of minimalist design. Crafted with mastery using metal bending techniques, these objects explore the possibilities of form and function.
The clean lines of each element reflect the essence of minimalism, while the strength and durability of the metal give them a tangible presence. Each piece is designed to blend harmoniously with any environment, adding a touch of modernity and sophistication. This collection of benches is a tribute to the beauty of simplicity and the power of essential design. Each of these pieces inspires creativity and enriches the space with its unique and distinctive presence.
