Akaei Bench

Akaei BenchAkaei Bench White Ash Wood & Powder Coated Metal Bench The seat that makes room for one more. Always. A bench has always been the most generous piece of furniture in a home the one that doesn't assign seats, doesn't count places, and doesn't ask anyone to wait for the next chair. The Akaei Bench was designed for that generosity. In white ash wood and powder coated metal, it carries the same honest material language that runs through the entire Akaei

Metal holders and brackets tie the piece together with the clean precision of considered industrial making

foam and fabric upholstery wrap two seats in the kind of comfort that makes the evening stretch longer than planned

and the natural grain and warmth of white ash brings the honesty of real timber to every surface

and the warmth of walnut to the centre of the living room in a form that works as hard as it looks considered

and powder coated metal gives the frame the clean structural precision to hold the octagonal surface with quiet authority

the shade that makes the room feel most like the person who lives in it

There are pieces that are assembled and there are pieces that are formed — where the material itself is shaped into the object rather than cut and joined into it

with grace

The Semai Console Inlay Design 2 carries the same honest material language as the original Semai — metal and wood

A white laminate base grounds the piece with a considered contrast

that holds the gathering without directing it

There is a particular quality that the best lounge chairs share — the ability to make the room feel incomplete without them
