Drift Concrete
By
Established & Sons
A piece of found driftwood initiated the design for the Drift bench. The naturally formed fluid lines of that found object provided inspiration for Amanda Levete's exercises in complex curves, angles and subtracted spaces. The Drift bench is an extremely sculptural design whose function, as a seating object, is clear although the primary concern for Levete has been translating her organic, highly sensual architectural language into a condensed form. This cast concrete version of the bench is suitable for permanent outdoor use. Best Furniture Design, Design Week Awards, 2007. Made to order product from Established & Sons.
