This Mountain Contemporary Bench has a warm aesthetic while also being true to its inspiration, derived from a Japanese tori gate. Is Version 2 of the Group W Bench. The original was specifically designed to fit a space about 6 feet long. When designing this bench, the length was decided more by form and proportion rather than to fit a space. I think the end result complemented the Japanese architecture that inspired it. This version is about 42″ long, 14″ deep, and 18″ tall It is made from cherry and accented with walnut. The walnut bow ties are inlayed by hand using only a mallet and chisel, then flushed with a hand plane. The piece of wood used for the arched trestle was specifically selected for the curvature of the grain.
