Taro Bench
by Philipp Mainzer
for e15
The Taro Bench from e15 is distinguished by its bold rectilinear form, but what truly sets it apart is the thoughtful treatment of its seating surface. Designed with a subtle inward curve, the seat gently slopes from the sides, creating a concave shape that enhances both visual appeal and comfort.
This curved seating plane not only adds a unique sculptural quality to the bench but also improves ergonomics, naturally conforming to the body for a more comfortable sitting experience. Whether used as a standalone statement piece or in combination with other furniture, the Taro Bench exemplifies refined craftsmanship and functional design.
