Formandrefine Lightweight Bench, Oak
Lightweight Bench, Oak
This ultra-lightweight bench is also sturdy and strong thanks to the high-quality design of the detailed half lap joints and the solid wooden slats.
This is an elegant and composed bench, and its minimalist design makes it perfect for use in most living spaces.
With the Lightweight Bench, we wanted to pay tribute to classic carpentry traditions by constructing the furniture with beautiful and classic-style wooden joints. We wanted to make a light impact furniture in both a visual and physical sense which reflects the quality grounded in our contemporary design language. The design is graphically tight but at the same time soft and tactile when used.

HERMAN STUDIO
Herman Studio was founded in 2012 by the two architects, Helle Herman Mortensen and Jonas Herman Pedersen. Their work spans from textile, ceramics, lighting and furniture design to interior design. A characterstic feature of their design is their focus on the objects’ contours.
By working with a distinctive outline for each object, the craftsmanship allows the design to stand out whilst remaining simple and readily recognizable. Their great passion for design and their appreciation of aesthetic principles are complimentary to their use of traditional materials and methods.
They work in an iterative process between sketches, models and prototypes. Their design process begins with the detailed study of construction methods, an approach which plays a central role throughout the design process. The workshop is therefore an essential part of their studio.
