William P. Taylor for Sintoform Square Planter Bench

About the Item

William P. Taylor for Sintoform, square planter bench, reinforced polyester, United States, 1970s A striking fusion of form and function, this sculptural planter bench, designed by William P. Taylor for Sintoform in the 1970s, embodies the era’s bold approach to modernist design. Crafted from fiberglass, it showcases a sleek, geometric silhouette with a seamless finish that enhances its futuristic aesthetic. The wide, angular base of this bench serves as both seating and structural support, while the integrated planter at its core brings nature into the design, creating a harmonious balance between the organic and the architectural. Sintoform Architectural Fiberglass, was an innovative American company founded in Los Angeles, California, that made a significant mark in the 1970s with its postmodern furniture. Specializing in fiberglass, the company aimed to create lightweight, versatile pieces suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Their designs were employed in a wide range of settings, including museums, airports, hospitals, schools, gardens, and offices. The company collaborated with notable designers such as William P. Taylor, Elsie Crawford, Douglas Deeds, and John Follis, who each created distinctive designs that helped define the company’s innovative approach to functional furniture. Kindly note that this piece has been completely restored and refinished, and is perfectly ready to enjoy for many years.
