About the Work

Vigne Bench, 2022
American ash
$28,500

French for vine, vigne refers to the fluid growth of the solid ash curves. The vine ends run free, alluding to the inherent push for a designer maker to continually grow and develop. The main seat structure uses the stacked lamination technique, building a solid foundation which is carved back to shape. The vine is re-sawn from the same boards for grain colour and continuity.
