A sculptural asymmetric three-seat bench composed of rudimentary shapes that come together to form the seat, legs, arms and back. Made with a combination of hand-tools and jigs, the design was heavily influenced by the imperfect nature of the timber itself, The oversized t-shaped back sections give the piece a strong silhouette, while the seat bench has hand carved recesses for added comfort.
This piece is part of SCP's One Tree project, which sees the repurposing of a dying ash tree from Sheridan Coakley’s garden. It’s a project that focuses on wood: how we grow it, use it, and secure its future. The One Tree project seeks to create one-off objects of beauty, which will both retain the carbon from the tree and give new material life to something which would have otherwise disappeared.
