About the Item
Genius and whimsical bench designed by the legendary experimentalist designer and maker Garry Knox Bennett. GKB personified a West Coast Spirit using unconventional materials and wry humor that was imbued in decades of work . The present "Whistling Bench" is designed with the same clever intent, as each drawer makes a quiet gentle whistling sound when the drawers are opened and shut and sound is amplified through small brass "speakers" implanted in the bottom of bench's seat . A rare and unique design from a giant, in body and spirit, a true California design legend.
Signed and dated to underside " Oakland, GKB, Anno 92, 12741". Very good condition.
