If you're looking for a minimalistic seating option that combines man-made components with natural elements, the Bench #13 is just what you have been waiting for. Constructed out of a plank of Sapele wood between two blocks of cement, it is an interesting piece of furniture for many reasons.
Designed by Nico Yektai, the Bench #13 is part of an evolving bench series. Although not necessarily suitable for homes, I can easily see this piece in parks and other public settings.
