The NOVARE bench is a sophisticated exploration of elemental contrast, merging the warmth of woodworking with the permanence of stone. The design features a sleek, pill-shaped seat crafted from solid dark timber, characterized by its soft, radiused edges and smooth finish. This floating wooden plane is anchored by two massive cylindrical legs of black veined marble. The piece’s signature detail is the architectural intersection where the stone columns rise through the seat, creating flush, circular inlays on the surface that celebrate the honest construction and the striking interplay between the two distinct dark textures.
