REA means highest standard and true contemporary Berlin design.‎The seating surface is 3.‎5 cm thick and is made of high-quality oak (up to 8 strips) and then oiled by hand.‎The metal frame is completely welded together and will be delivered in on piece.‎ RAK by MAZANLI forms part of the RAK dining table & REA bench ensemble.‎ The combination was originally created for the gourmet restaurant "Baldon" in the Lobe Studio in Berlin, which was designed by star architect Arno Brandlhuber.‎ The elegant, minimalist line of the bench was used to create a strong contrast to the "brutality" of the concrete which dominates the entire building complex.‎ Following the great interest in the furniture, MAZANLI has permanently included the ensemble in its collection.‎The sense of weightlessness is made possible by the use of thin but highly robust square tubes (2 cm x 2 cm) made from high quality German Kruppstahl.‎ The steel used is untreated and develops a unique patina over time, depending on the surrounding climate.‎
