The traditional metal clad furniture he found in India inspired renowned designer Paul Mathieu to create this elegant and curvaceous storage bench. The arcing sides and top of this piece are hand carved from solid pieces of teak. The hinged lid opens to reveal a removable inset tray. Pattern makers trace and cut complex forms that will cover the bench from thick sheets of copper, brass or white bronze. Once the bench is joined together, it is meticulously encased in a tight fitting skin of white bronze, copper or brass. The metal finish will tarnish over time, but regular non-abrasive household metal polish can be used to restore the original luster. Vaisseau Bench...

The Long Vaisseau Bench works as an ottoman at a scale that most ottomans cannot reach: 96 inches wide, in Medium Hammered Copper metal, with the arching hourglass profile that Paul Mathieu derived from the metal-clad storage furniture of India. The lid opens to a teak-lined interior with a removable inset tray. At 17 inches, the height is correct for a footrest or additional seating. In Medium Hammered Copper, it is also an object that a room is composed around. The wood box is constructed to the arching profile before Medium Hammered Copper metal sheets are pattern-cut and fitted by hand across its full length. The sides narrow at the waist and flare at each end; the metal is fitted in sections, each secured with flush-set nails. The lid is hinged and fitted in the same Medium Hammered Copper metal. Interior: teak-lined with removable tray. Measures 96 by 16 by 17 inches. Functions as a long ottoman, storage bench, blanket chest, or bedfoot piece. Hinged lid with removable interior tray. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order. Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Long Vaisseau Bench extends...
