The bench is hand-woven by a master weaver with over 40 years experience. We use 70% recycled steel for the frame.Designed by a former art dealer who represented contemporary artists for over 30 years including some of the giants of minimalist art. The inspiration the designer took from working with minimalist artists over decades is realized in the principles of simplicity, honesty, utility at the heart of MIlwood Design. Hand made locally in Venice, California.
