This is Benjamin Graindorge’s amazing oak bench that travels from a trees natural state at one end to an elegantly refined functional seat at the other end. When I look at this I have the sensation of experiencing how the designer can envision his idea within his minds eye while looking at the raw material. The visual balance between rough and smooth, wild and tame, and dark and light is thrilling!

This bench was created in 2011 and made an appearance at Design Miami this past June.
