Bookmatch Bench

Philippe Malouin’s Bookmatch bench reflects the natural beauty of freshly sawn wood. It celebrates craftsmanship, yet is designed for modern manufacturing and contemporary living. Featuring a perfectly thought-out wood veneer panel, with edges designed to give a “waney” (untrimmed) effect, and a construction that locks into place with two wooden corners, the Bookmatch bench is a perfectly thought-out tribute to traditional joinery skills. Visually heavy, but in reality light, and seemingly raw and artisanal, but in reality highly sophisticated, the Bookmatch bench is a sophisticated piece of furniture for design enthusiasts.
