The main aim
of this project is to reestablish some of
the (currently
considered) old constructive systems and give them another perspective in order
to offer a modern innovative image.
It’s common knowledge that almost 100% of the furniture pieces require fixation
elements (like glue or screws). The Milano bench is
an exception to this. Furniture can be
made without such elements if its design is well-researched and planned.
By using
only dovetail joints, this bench is capable of supporting over 200 kg of
weight.
In the formal aspects, the proportions have been studied to find the right
balance between the wood’s thickness and the length and height of the bench.
In order to adapt to corners or long walls, Milano bench offers the possibility
of making different seating shapes, combining two or more benches into a bigger one.
Material: Multilayered birch wood coated with a water-based varnish.
