Son Of A Bench!

Son Of A Bench...simultaneously: function, sculpture, and colorful conversational interjection. Interlocking loops of hot-rolled steel create an intriguing form of mass and space. A glossy black rubber-dipped skin positively drips with attitude. Repeat after me: Son Of A Bench! Now, you want one.

Alessi. Did you know...?

The name Alessi is synonymous with influential and challenging design. Collaboration between the company and 20th Century star designers and architects has produced an array of classics, from the elegant condiment set of Ettore Sottsass to the anachnoid simplicity of Phillipe Starck's lemon squeezer.

“a true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain... We work on expressive languages and on the expressive potential of the items... From this point of view, design intended... to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential ”. - Alberto Alessi

In our humble Smart Furniture Studio opinion, Alessi = cool. Visit our Studio on Chattanooga's North Shore...
