The art bench offers solid seating for any room or hallway, though its true intent is to act as a platform for showcasing a hefty sculptural work or artfully arranged stack of books. Stocky three-and-a-half-inch square column legs ensure the bench can support generous amounts of weight and stand up to rugged use. While its rustic character offers strength and stability, there are also moments of unique expression found in subtlety, such as the circular sole carved into the base of each leg to give the bench a microscopic lift from the floor. A tactile experience is also created at the through-joint intersections, now gently sanded to form shallow divots that are smooth to the touch. Made to order and handcrafted in Toronto. dimensions:length: 60” (152cm)width: 16” (41cm)height: 14” (36cm)
