the shops bench explores the contrast between two very distinct materials: the finely cut graphite-toned aluminum sheet and the thick, rustic log with an organic edge. it was originally designed for the passage areas of a small shopping center by arthur casas in jardim paulistano, são paulo. due to its nature as a piece intended for public space, it has a strong presence and can be used both indoors and outdoors—as a garden bench or paired with a table. each bench will have its own unique character, shaped by the natural variations in the cut and grain of the wood.
