Benches

Layered seating landscapes for hospitality, workplace, transport, retail and public interiors, adapted to the required capacity, footprint and circulation.

Continuous form with project-specific performance

After-Form benches are built from controlled families of sections rather than a fixed mould. This allows the seat length, backrest profile, branching, direction and number of usable places to respond to a particular floor plan while retaining one continuous visual language.

For high-traffic projects we review stability, edges, surface protection, maintenance, anchoring, assembly and replacement access. The same design system can produce an individual lobby object or a coordinated series of benches for a large public project.

Selected objects

- Furniture $15,000 Flow Bench Flow Bench is a continuous seating landscape shaped by soft rises, dips and folds. Its double-sided form invites people to pause, meet and use the object in different ways.
- Furniture $14,000 L Bench L Bench uses a broad directional curve to shape both seating and movement. Its rising back gives the object a distinct silhouette and creates a more sheltered side within the same continuous form.
- Furniture $17,000 Mebius Bench Mebius Bench forms a continuous loop with no obvious front or back. People can approach it from every direction, turning the sculptural ring into a natural shared meeting point.
- Furniture $13,000 Mollusk Bench Mollusk Bench combines a low flowing seat with a dramatic shell-like crest. It feels intimate when occupied and remains a collectible sculptural object when viewed on its own.
- Furniture $13,000 Murena Bench Murena Bench moves through the space as a long sinuous wave. Its alternating peaks and open seats create a varied social landscape with a vivid sense of motion.
- Furniture $16,000 Parametric Bench Parametric Bench turns a complex seating program into one continuous sculptural landscape. Its varied elevations support individual pauses, informal meetings and shared use within a single recognizable object.
- Furniture $14,000 S Bench S Bench draws a generous S-shaped line through the interior and creates seating in two directions. The curve divides activity gently while keeping the object open and approachable.
