Damien O'Loughlin, The Fairseat Bench (TABLES, CHAIRS, DESKS 2021 )

The Fairseat bench is a synthesis of simple styling and fine craftmanship. Initially designed as an end of bed bench to support the morning routine of putting work boots on, it is equally capable of as an alternative to chairs at the dining table This multi-functional piece is made from solid American oak and finished in Osmo for a soft timeless feel. The unique details of the chamfered underside, angled legs and expressed mitred dovetail stretcher ends (strengthened by floating tenons) lend an elegant quality.
