A colorful design with a very creative name. Freshome presents the new To Be Continued Bench, created by Julien Carretoro. Julien is a very talented designer living for the moment in The Netherlands. He has many interesting projects and if you visit his web page you will also find some news about a design internship. The bench is actually a part of a series of furniture, all gathered under the title “to be continued”. Such furniture items include a sideboard, a coffee table and a cabinet. What unites these designs is their unique way of production.
These are some words of the designer himself concerning the innovative bench and the process of production.“It deals with creating a real and recognizable uniqueness within serial production. Instead of leaving randomness manage the differences; it uses the repetitive actions existing within the production process as a tool for differentiation.Then each piece produced comes as a result of a process applied on the piece that came before. Each piece is then existing because of the others and couldn’t have been designed without the others.Each layer is casted on top of the one casted before following the exact outline of it. Because of the imperfection of the cast, the object slowly mutates and starts designing itself.”
With this willingly self-made design, one must wonder about the ergonomics of the bench. In spite of its interesting look, it doesn’t really seem too comfortable. If you would like to purchase this product or simply find out more information, you can contact the designer here. – Via Chair Blog

“334″ is an innovative idea that aims to make people more eco-concious. “334” is a bench that’s been designed by designer Oscar Lhermitte as part of the “X days project.” This series aims to create products that involve considerable recycling, yet avoid processes like gluing, screwing, soldering etc. 334 bench consists of three parallel bars of metal, over which are stacked 334 old newspapers. At a first glance this bench might look fragile but it’s not, the designer claims that’s this piece of furniture has the capability of roughly holding the weight of 5 people. This project wasn’t meant to be sold, it was created with the purpose to inspire others to make their own pieces of eco friendly furniture and to make people more eco-concious. – Via – Thedesignblog

A few months ago we presented an interesting piece of Garden Furniture, and today here is another interesting bench named the Hanna Bench. These benches are manufactured from recycled/reclaimed boat wood; though this gives them a unique appearance, no two will be exactly the same even if they are of the same style. The silkscreened grass image on the backrest of the bench is a large scale, cropped graphic that gives the old boards a fresh look. The price for a bench like this is $900 each. – Via – ApartmentTherapy

A long time ago at the begining of this blog I’ve presented a similar product with the Book “Shelves with a Bench“, and it was called The Cave – Bookcase with a Reading Space. The design is pretty similar buy I think this one is more stylish. Now the design might look cool for the eye, but I don’t think you can stay to relaxed in that space, I’d rather stay in a comfortable chair. The “Shelves with a Bench” was designed by Stanislav Katz, a designer from Latvia that also has some nice and playful designs and ideas, this being one of them and is available for *pre-order here.

The Pencil Bench was designed by Boex 3D Creative Solutions. The seat contains 1600 individually sprung rubber pencils that can be yanked out for use. The bench might be made from 1600 individually sprung rubber pencil but I still think is quite uncomfortable. The Pencil Bench has won various design awards over the last year, but hasn’t yet gone into commercial production. Although I’m sure they will make you one if you ask nicely. – Via – Cubeme
