Bleached Maple and Charcoal Cast Concrete in Dynamic Bench by Nico Yektai
About the Item
Presented in bleached maple and charcoal colored cast concrete. This version is smaller than its bigger sibling but not a small bench by any means. This version measures 72” long and the castings could easily accommodate a seat a bit shorter and longer. The sculptural “system” will use the same cast legs with their dynamic movement for all versions in this size range. They capture the same feeling as the legs in the bigger version, inspired by the crashing waves at the waters edge. The seat, like all versions of the Waves bench, is slightly curved to impart the maximum comfort from a wooden seat.

Nico Yektai
Nico Yektai has developed a distinctive approach to designing and making furniture. The essence of his style is that each component within a piece of furniture becomes the decoration. The components are pushed, pulled and faceted as the composition comes to life in the moment. This process is similar to the way a painter builds up a canvas one brush stroke at a time. It is not a surprise that he grew up in a house with Manoucher Yektai, a painter from the New York School, who painted with gestural pallet knife strokes. Scale models begin the process when he is designing a new piece or modifying an existing one for a client. Working in three dimensions at scale allows him to compose as if it were the real thing. An added bonus is that he uses photographs of those scale models as a means of communicating his intentions with the new piece. Clients find this very helpful. Yektai began working with cast concrete when he decided that he wanted to make a series of outdoor benches. A new material demanded a new vocabulary. He has developed a system for casting that allows tremendous flexibility. He is able to capture the same spontaneity in his concrete work that is characteristic of his wood work. The combination of materials was so engaging that he now includes cast concrete in many of his interior pieces. Nico Yektai opened the doors to his studio in 1995 in Sag Harbor Ny in the heart of the Hamptons.
Each instance of this piece will be a unique composition. Scale models will be used to communicate the design if necessary.
Customizations include:
- Color of the cast concrete legs
- Choice of Woods and finish for the seat is encouraged
- Size of the bench can be specified between 68” - 78”
