Building this free form piece was pure joy. The lines on the bench are meant to captivate and pull the eye. The design was led by what curves and undulations looked right, not by technical drawings. The bench’s ribbon is formed from sixteen 15' long ash plies which were laminated together while bent around a framework. The seat is made of thermal ash, which is a process where the wood is heated in an oxygen free vacuum. This causes the sugars in the wood to caramelize, giving it the rich brown tone.
Materials: ash, thermal ash
