The Chiquitta Bench and Cube, created by the team at Alvarae Design Studio, deceives anyone who thinks the design is simply a solid, hard bench until they take a seat. The mixture of carbon fiber with up to 1,000 individually milled wooden pegs surprises everyone with its amazing level of comfort. The seating solution is designed so that each of the wooden pegs shifts with the body form, so as to heighten the level of comfort in a contrasting way.
The Chiquitta Bench and Cube are such tactile designs that bring a new experience to custom-made seating. The features of the design reiterate how carbon fiber is strong, yet can morph into such organic forms.
The bench and cube would make a stunning feature in any home or commercial space.
