Furnishing the garden

bench concept - model 1

Furniture in the garden is very important and is often overlooked. Carefully placed, a seat, bench or covered space offers refuge, and if you are an avid gardener like myself, a place to stop working and reflect. It is usually difficult to source quality furnishings that will work in our coastal context, which is why designing my own seemed obvious. I am currently working with local craftsmen to create the first prototype.

The seats aesthetic will work in a modern and traditional setting

materials:

-reclaimed oak seat slats

-ductal arches

Ductal is a revolutionary, ultra-high performance material that provides strength, ductility, durability and aesthetic flexibility.
