Plane Bench by Temper Studio
About the Item
Plane Bench by Temper Studio
Dimensions: D 40 x W 180 x H 45 cm.
Materials: Wood.
The Plane Bench is designed with communal dining and our Plane Table in mind, while also working perfectly at the foot of a bed or perched below a window sill. It can be made in various British hardwoods, such as oak, sycamore, and ash – the polished facets offering a three-dimensional window into the distinctive grain of the tree and featured here in XX.
The Plane Collection takes inspiration from the different expressions of grain found in British hardwoods such as oak, sycamore, and ash. By cutting clean and polished facets into the wood, we’re offered a three dimensional window into the tree, tracing the grain from a new perspective
as it moves through each piece individually and the collection as one. By introducing an angular and precise finish to an otherwise rustic but sculptural form, we sought to capture the interplay between the organic nature of the wood and the maker’s contemporary imprint on it. The Plane
Collection gently evolves and encompasses dining tables, stools, and benches of different sizes and finishes.
We are George Winks and Katharine Prendergast, the minds and the hands behind Temper. From our studio, lab, and workshop in rural Wiltshire, we design and make idiosyncratic furniture that speaks to our fascination with experimentation, form and materiality. Drawn to the generative space between thinking and making and learning by doing, George’s detailed aesthetic softens the binary between art and artisanship and forms the foundation of Temper’s explorative, process-led approach.
We encourage an open-ended, creative process that explores a continuous line of questioning between the material and the maker. Constantly learning from and led by the materials we work with, we move fluidly between problem solving, curating, and making. Through knowledge and play, these learnings are woven and re-woven into every piece we make, forming a unique expression and story of how each and every object comes to be.
Nestled in the Wiltshire countryside, our three spaces express the nature of what we do and our values. The studio sits at the heart of Temper and is where our ideas take their original form.
The lab encourages us to play, experiment, and evolve those ideas, while the workshop – a characterful forest green Nissen hut – is where we hone our skills and transform our learnings into physical objects.
Our work encompasses made-to-order, commissions, and explorative work. We work directly with private clients and on larger projects with interior designers, architects, and contractors, where we enjoy being part of the wider ecosystem of how spaces come together. Everything we make is part of a continuously moving and evolving body of research that feeds into the breadth of our practice.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.

Christine Kalia is a design studio exploring modes of spatial relations between architectural, interior and product design. The studio’s vision is calibrated towards ecocentric design and contemporary aesthetics; where the end products manifest the prime materials. The various collections take different approaches to this design mode, often seen as sitting in-between reality and daydreaming. The “coming from” of each design’s unique materiality is carefully crafted towards a “belonging with”, where the sophisticated design of the studio’s products is complementing any environment, in order to elevate its aesthetic aura.
