Artist statement
It's inspired by the capital of an Ionic column. Instead of the look of dense stone, I wanted to extract the lines of the form to create a light, spacious and resilient bench in which a person sits in the middle framed on either side by two big luxurious scrolls. The lines of the Baltic birchwood plies evoke a feeling of movement and vibrancy. The surfaces that reveal the plies are finely sanded and coated with a high-quality Italian acrylic; the result is a seat that is sensuously smooth to the touch. Made-to-order from New York City.
