Solid Nero Marquina Marble Bench, 6 ft. "Walking Bench" by Lauren Rottet

About the Item

The Walking Bench was originally created for the indoor / outdoor entry foyer at the Kips Bay Show House in Dallas, Texas. The impetus for the design was that the bench looks kinetic and could suddenly, without provocation, walk away on its own impetus. Typically, benches feel like an afterthought to design... static and lacking personality. The canted legs of the Walking Bench give it life and character and give the impression of it taking a “walk”, hence the name. It is offered lengths of 6' and can be customized for different applications and settings. This bench commands attention. The longer the bench, the greater the impression of movement and more visual energy it exudes. The Walking Bench is part of the Cubist Collection which was inspired by the Cubist art movement. Cubism was about looking at things in another way- an abstraction or distortion of the literal. The Walking Bench has won several awards including the Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award, a NYCxDesign Award and a NY Product Design Award.

Walnut and Acrylic Sofa, "Wood Float Bench" by Lauren Rottet
By Lauren Rottet
Located in New York, NY
No. BCH-003 The Wood Float Bench blurs the lines between art and furniture. Handcrafted from solid walnut, the seat is elegantly curved in contrast with the structured back, which is supported by transparent acrylic and acts as an interactive picture frame to capture the ever-changing environment in which it sits. Captivating and intriguing the Wood Float Bench can stand alone with its beautiful exposed walnut finish or can be adorned with custom cushions in a variety of fabrics for additional support and comfort. The Wood Float Bench is part of the Float Collection, originally designed by Lauren Rottet, when she bought the George Nelson house in Montauk and needed furniture that fit in with the mid-century modern hand crafted aesthetic and freed the spaces from visual clutter, allowing the inhabitants to see past the furniture to the architecture of the space, keeping the atmosphere lighter and more airy. The Wood Float Bench also referred to as the Wood Float Sofa...
