The waters of Lake Titicaca dictate the shape (and name) of the bench by Fukasawa. This stretch of water lies between Bolivia and Perù, a lake 204 km long and 65 km wide that occupies around 8562 km². This very beautiful place caught the designer’s attention, and he tried to capture the movement of the waves to “move” the bench into a new, wavy shape.
Titikaka revolutionises the concept of a bench. Fukasawa redesigned a traditionally “immobile” piece and set it in a new realm of poetry and sculpture.
The traditional typology of the outdoor bench is revamped with contemporary language. It’s an impressive piece that resembles a sculpture. Made of teakwood slats that cover the structure to the ground on both front and back, positioned horizontally on the aluminium structure in an original wave-like arrangement to create curves that are both pleasant and ergonomically functional.
Frame:
anodysed aluminium, solid teakwood
Ferrules:
black plastic material
