Madrid-based designer Verónica Mar creates the Soul Sculpture Bench for Les Ateliers Courbet. The main theme is a minimal approach that features inspiration from the recurring spiral patterns that are captured by the 'vast galaxies.' It is seen throughout nature in the form of swirling water currents, DNA chains, and more.
The chair acts as a relationship between design and nature. The bench is meant to be a versatile piece of furniture as it is seamlessly able to fit in private indoor locations and public areas as well. The bench is simultaneously a thought-provoking piece, which is meant to invite others to sit and to "pause, reflect, and appreciate the profound intricacies of the natural world."
