  • Contourline Bench | Bronze

Bronze allows for much finer and thinner designs, and more opportunity to experiment with texture through a process of patination. The intention was to work with the bronze, and contrasting the polished underside with the tactile patina exemplifies both the versatility and the timelessness of the material. 

Bronze is associated with high value. The use of this material imparts the same sense of validity as when it is used in sculpture and architecture. Historically, bronze statues have depicted gods across many civilizations, informing the distinguished perception of the material. The medium also impresses with its sustainable quality as it possesses exceptional longevity. 

The fluid design is reminiscent of the Japanese influences on the Wiener Secession movement and 20th Century Art Nouveau.
