Design Description:
Commissioned by Saporiti Italia, Metamorphosis traces the evolution of the 'bench' through the singularity of a seamless sculptural gesture.

The story of the 'bench' begins from its most primordial and natural iteration — the fallen log in nature as man's first bench. Through steady metamorphosis, the sculpture eventuates as an abstraction of the essential 'bench' — the thinnest possible gravity-defying two-dimensional plane. Abstracted in white solid surface, the piece also serves as a commentary on the processes and resources involved in the materialization of design by the human hand.
