The Whippet Bench looks as though it were modelled after a super speedy dog. Moving from one end to the other faster than a speeding bullet, the resulting blur is what makes up the seat itself. Of course, the Whippet Bench is not actually the result of a exceptional dog frozen in time. Instead, it is made out of solid resin that has been finished in a multitude of ways.
Designed by Radi Designers, a studio based in France, and currently sold by the furniture manufacturer Galerie Kreo, the Whippet Bench is comprised of 30 pieces limited edition pieces and five artist's proofs, all of which have been signed and numbered. It also comes in a couple of forms.
