FUTURE SYSTEMS / AMANDA LEVETE
PRINCIPAL COLLECTION
Design/ 2006
Description/
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. The remarkable bench acts as a freestanding feature piece and works equally well on its own, mirrored as a pair or positioned in sequence.
