Aether Bench

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.

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.
