  • Constructed from solid oak, the piece retains its original iron clamp mechanisms and a deeply aged surface shaped through sustained use. The structure is direct and unadorned, with exposed joinery and hardware defining the form rather than decoration

    Generations of manual labor remain visible across the surface in the form of wear, compression marks, and tonal variation within the wood. The patina is earned, not applied

    Both functional and sculptural, the bench carries a quiet physical presence — an object formed entirely by purpose, restraint, and time
