Benches

Zen simplicity, majestically aged.

Ambidextrous joinery. Fully portable.

The Muse and Well-tempered Benches are powerful, simple statements of the wonder of recycling.

The Well-Tempered Bench

 A celebration of decomposition:  Unrefined.  Sensual.  Mysterious.

Tempered, “having the elements mixed in satisfying proportions”, is the philosophy behind these pieces.

Honoring the ravages, textures and colors that time, weather and parasites create in wood, the effort with The Well-Tempered Bench is to remove only that which is necessary — to leave behind the honesty of Nature, and still be safe to the touch. What remains is an incredibly satisfying experience of seating. Or daybed. Or yoga…

These are rare works of Nature’s Art that will eventually fall away into the oblivion from whence they came…

Approximately 6′ L X 17″ H X 14″ W.  $750.
