The Haluz Bench is a stunning piece of furniture that has a deceptively minimalist appearance. Although it is made entirely out of wood, the seat surface itself is comprised of a bundle of thin willow branches. At once medieval and modern, the ash wood frame that holds all of the twigs together gives the Haluz Bench a cleaner look.
Designed by Tomas Vacek, an industrial designer based in Prague, Czech Republic, the Haluz Bench is available in two sizes: long and short. Perfect for both outdoor and indoor use, the Haluz Bench adds a touch of nature to urban settings. Not to mention that the texture is incredibly rustic chic as well. Yet the Haluz Bench looks like it would be most at home in a serene spa.
