The Bookmatch Bench by Philippe Malouin channels the natural beauty of freshly sawn timber. It celebrates craftsmanship, and yet is a design for modern manufacture and contemporary living. Featuring a perfectly mirrored wood veneer board with edges engineered to give a waney (untrimmed) effect and a construction that locks with two wooden wedges, the Bookmatch Bench is a perfectly considered homage to traditional carpentry skills. Visually hefty, although actually light, and seemingly raw and crafted, but in reality highly engineered, the Bookmatch Bench is a sophisticated piece of furniture for design devotees.
