Named a 2018 Best of Year Awards Honoree by Interior Design Magazine. KG bench merges mannerism with engineering. Carved out of thick slabs of Sessile Oak the sinuous arched profile of this bench goes from mysteriously thin to substantial, in a continuous swoop. The KG bench in the new ebonized wood all-black version has a beautiful grain which emphasizes the unique geometry of the piece. The Sessile-Oak has undergone an ebonizing process to create a gorgeous all-black matte finish.Designed in Brooklyn by Italian-born architect Ale Preda for Miduny, this artisanal product is made in Italy by master craftsmen. The thick wood slab 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 on the underside and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.As 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.
