Design
This wooden bench showcases a harmonious blend of materials and minimalist detailing. Walnut is used for the robust legs, while beech wood appears on the sides, adding a subtle contrast to the overall look. The design incorporates various wood species, creating a palette of warm, natural tones that play off each other. Each piece is precisely positioned, allowing delicate, linear patterns to emerge as ornamental details across the surface. The straight lines add structure, while soft, rounded edges soften the look, lending an understated elegance to the piece. This bench embodies Parisi’s design philosophy: a seamless integration of elegance and practicality. Through the choice of materials and precise craftsmanship, the bench becomes more than a functional object, it highlights the beauty of subtle detailing and natural wood.
