Bean Bench, 2006. Wood laminate with fiberglass
The B-bench was concieved as lightweight seating for interior and exterior use. The B-bench is fabricated using reinforced steam bent wood laminates and weighs just over eight pounds while supporting three seated adults for a combined stress weight capacity of 500 pounds. Inspiration for the bench project came from studying string beans, traditional ketch design and 3 Japanese basket weaving.
