Crayon Pine Bench is a minimalist bench created by Sweden-based designers Adrian Bursell and Siri Svedborg. This deceptively simple act of drawing on furniture carries profound resonance. The wax crayon, that most democratic of artistic tools, becomes an instrument of transformation when applied to pine surfaces.

Monolith Bench is a minimalist bench created by Hungary-based designer Boldizar Senteski for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN. Senteski’s work exists at the intersection of furniture and sculpture, where utility meets monument. “I’m interested in the moment when an object becomes more than itself,” explains Senteski. “When a bench isn’t just for sitting, but becomes a presence in the room—a character with its own gravity.”

Banco Doble Tronco is a minimalist seat designed by Buenos Aires-based studio Taller Posible. The three-inch guatambú framework stands like architectural poetry, its substantial presence commanding attention without aggression. Here, the designer has made a bold decision that reverberates through contemporary furniture making – to celebrate rather than conceal the joinery.

Slagbænk is a minimalist bench created by Denmark-based designer Amanda Lilholt. The first thing you notice about this Slagbænk is how it resolves contradictions—it’s both ancient and new, both functional and beautiful, both rooted and nomadic. The traditional Danish bench-chest has been reimagined here not merely as a revival but as a response to contemporary living patterns, where space constraints and life transitions demand furniture that adapts rather than dictates.

Arnaud is a minimalist bench created by Prague-based designer Jiri Krejcirik. At first glance, the Arnaud’s clean lines and measured proportions (2000 x 320 x 440 mm) suggest minimalist restraint. Yet, closer inspection reveals Krejcirik’s masterful understanding of solid spruce wood’s inherent characteristics. The choice of spruce – a material deeply embedded in Czech furniture-making tradition – isn’t merely practical.

ONE – Bench is a minimalist bench created by Netherlands-based designer Frank Penders for Form Editions. The ONE, a design that embodies minimalist principles, is crafted from a single sheet of metal, transformed through traditional forging and modern bending techniques to achieve a three-dimensional form.

HWB300 is a minimalist bench collection created by Eindhoven-based designer Martin Laforêt for Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Laforêt’s ‘The Mould Objects’ collection emerges from this fertile ambiguity, where the French designer treats industrial materials as if discovering them for the first time.

Chavire Bench is a minimal bench created by France-based designer Ferréol Babin for Friedman Benda as part of the Fragments exhibition. The showcase marks a significant milestone in Babin’s career, offering the public an in-depth look at a comprehensive selection of his work. Through this exhibition, Babin conveys his dedication to craft as both a method of creation and a medium for narrative expression.
