Canaletto Walnut Kg Bench With Flat Top, Made In Italy

A sculptural wood bench at the intersection of functional art and furniture. KG bench merges mannerism with engineering. Carved out of the finest solid Noce Canaletto (Black Walnut), this bench merges visual lightness with solidity. In a continuous swoop, the sinuous arched profile goes from mysteriously thin to substantial. The material has a beautiful straight grain and a light brown color emphasizing the unique geometry of the piece. KGB comes in two versions: the one depicted in this listing has a flat top, ideal for using the surface as a low table but it's also available with a carved top version, which invites seating. Named 2018 Best of Year Awards Finalist by Interior Design Magazine.Designed in Brooklyn by Italian-born architect Ale Preda for Miduny, this artisanal product is made in Italy by master craftsmen. A thick slab of solid Black Walnut made from 3 full-length boards is carved for several hours on a 5-axis CNC machine, hand-sanded, stained, and finished with a slightly reflective gloss. The legs follow a similar workflow. The overall process takes no less than 25 steps. Each bench features a hand-stamped unique serial number and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. As with all our products, the KG bench is designed to ship flat inside a custom-built box and minimal assembly is required. This allows shipping to be more efficient and sustainable. Each of the two legs fits into a carved slot and is attached with two countersunk bolts.
