The Ripples Indoor Bench by Horm, designed by Toyo Ito, turns layers of wood into a sculptural seating surface. Walnut, mahogany, cherry, oak and ash reveal contrasting bands of color as the seat curves through the layered material, creating the flowing pattern that gives Ripples its name.
Hand-finished in Italy, the bench combines a clean rectangular outline with softly carved seating contours. A concealed metal reinforcement supports the seat, while the open space beneath keeps its profile visually light. Winner of the 2004 Compasso d'Oro, Ripples works as a statement piece in an entryway, living room, gallery or reception area.
Made in Italy by Horm.
