Bench Styles

Yesterday morning, I was walking across the Central Park. The weather was dreadful, cold and windy. As I rushed back to get home soon, I noticed this cute little doggy taking a nap in an isolated bench. It was such a delight. I felt so serene and peaceful. I love benches. I know it is such an ordinary object, yet it could be fun, artsy, simple, sophisticated and functional.

Taken from Nuevo Estilo. The colorful green pillow on top of the plain wrought Iron bench looks pretty chic. I like the clean and simple lines of the wooden seat.

Tree Trunk Bench From Vividvormgeving.

This is a perfect example of exhibiting the artistic elements involved in crafting this piece. A simple wooden trunk is used, with bronze chair back attached to the back of the log. Pretty easy DIY stuff.

El Filósofo (the philosopher) bench designed by Alfredo Häberli from BD Barcelona design.

Alfredo designed this bench, inspired by a person who needs some quiet and visual calm, but never wants to be alone, because he needs to chat.

Pretty cool isn't it?
