POETIC BENCH I << previous | next >>

This two seater bench intended for interior use depicts images of an oak tree and an historical villa dated to the 16th century in a public park in Bologna. The Italian phrase engraved around the bench, emphasizes the idea of lightness, transparence and shadows. The legs are original from the end of the 19th century.
