Benches in Forged Steel and Glass Mosaic
In addition to the forged steel and mosaic collaborative tabletop and wall sculptures we make together, we also love collaborating to create furniture and other functional pieces.
This first bench features a forged steel base, a stretcher with brightly colored mosaic inlay, and an ash seat.
Johannah also designed a mosaic mirror in similar colors to coordinate with this bench. We think they’d look great paired together in an entryway or bedroom, or any nook that could use a seat and a splash of color.
(And psst, these two pieces are available. Reach out for more information!)
The next two benches were created for a client who needed one bench to use at their dining table, and another to go outside.
For a commission like this, Kyle will often create a quick sheet of thumbnail ideas. Once the client narrows their preference down to two to four favorites, he’ll make more detailed drawings.
When it came time for Johannah to make the mosaics, we had to get creative in finding ways to support the benches so the steel pans Kyle creates for the mosaics would lay relatively flat.
Sun and Moon Bench
The Sun and Moon Bench was designed to be installed and used outside, with a weather-resistant base of forged stainless steel and a cypress wood seat.
