The mosaiced Thonet bench which is part of the mosaiced furniture collection finds its inspiration in the mosaiced floors constructed during the Romanesque period which nowadays are often located under water as the water level rose during the centuries. Original Thonet chairs were transformed into a bench and the original sittings have been replaced with transparent plexiglass and coloured tiles, which are immersed in resin. The touch of lightness is amplified and renewed by the colourful transparencies.
