Introducing the Aether bench. Presented in Maple with Stainless Steel brackets. The bench is designed to be apartment sized at a sleek 60″ long with a 13″ deep seat. The gestural back features a lumbar curve to match the comfort of the curved seat.   

This bench evolved out of the system that i had developed for the shifted Slab Bench. he legs are composed in a very free manner which helps to establish the unique energy of the piece. This bench will be different every times that i make it in keeping with my interesting one-of-a-kind furniture.

This image shows the bench in an early stage prior to any of the shaping.

Curves and facets are beginning to refine the composition. The piece evolves in an organic way that is characteristic of my hands on approach to composition.
