Bricola Solid Oak WOOD, Extraclear Polished RESIN – Colorless or Aquamarine.
The Bent Bench is born from a single plank of Venetian Briccola oak, its form gently rising, bending, and returning – an elegant gesture that spans space like a silent wave. The live edges, sculpted by salt and time, remain intact, while resin bands frame and protect the delicate margins, embracing the wood in a translucent sheath that echoes the lagoon’s flow.
Through a refined process, wood grain meets seamlessly at corners, and resin flows uninterrupted with no visible seams, bestowing a purity of form. The bench becomes a continuous ribbon of memory and matter, where every curve is a whisper of water and wood in quiet conversation.
This bench is more than seating: it is a passage between vertical and horizontal, a moment of Venice frozen in bending line. It invites touch, sight and stillness, as if holding space for the silent tides that shaped it.
