More details here…

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.
