101 Copenhagen Bow Bench: Where Timeless Architecture Meets Contemporary Seating
The 101 Copenhagen Bow Bench stands as a testament to design that transcends time, effortlessly blending the allure of history with the sophistication of the present. Evocative of the grand aqueducts from the Roman Empire, it draws inspiration from structures that have withstood the test of time, while perfectly fitting into today's modern interiors.
Its series of repetitive arches molds a silhouette that is as sleek as it is distinctive. These design elements, coupled with its strategically crafted legs, infuse the bench with an aura of weightlessness and elegance. Yet, this does not take away from its commanding presence, ensuring it remains a focal point wherever it is placed.
Beyond its visual appeal, the Bow Bench is a marvel in material engineering. Cast in lightweight fiber concrete, it offers a textured surface that is both unique and functional, enhancing its mobility. The hand-painted finish, achieved through multiple layers, not only elevates its aesthetic appeal but also fortifies it, ensuring durability and resistance to the vagaries of daily use.
Conceptualized by the renowned duo, Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl, this bench epitomizes 101 Copenhagen's ethos of embracing heritage while innovating for today. Whether placed in an entryway, living space, or a quiet nook, the Bow Bench promises to be a conversation piece that is as functional as it is artistic.
