Minimalist Two-Legged Seating

The Leaning Bench by Izabela Boloz is Lightweight and Angled

— May 28, 2014 — Art & Design
The Leaning Bench by Izabela Boloz features a two-legged design that relies on a wall for its strength. The minimalist seater becomes usable only when its backrest is pitched against a wall surface, forming a stable support system that allows for comfortable use.

This clean and simplistic bench design is made using ash wood materials that are oiled for a natural appearance. Moreover, the furniture piece features rubber non-slip feet that work on any floor surface or finish.

Display this Leaning Bench piece by Izabela Boloz in an open gallery space or compact corridor for a clean and modern look or opt for the chair's outdoor alternative when displaying the piece within a green space. The alternative is made using oak that has been strengthened with a lacquered finish.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Furniture - There is an opportunity to create other simple, minimalist furniture designs that rely on unconventional supports to create stable bases.

2. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate minimalist furniture designs that maximize the available space and create a clean, modern look in homes and offices.
