The Product

The simple structure of a Chinese bench and its varied and flexible use by people inspired the designer to redesign the modern bench in a similar manner. The common bench was thus transformed in its size to create various heights and seats of different sizes.

The different heights provide for various functions and serve the needs of the individual or group of people using the bench.
