Description:

The Canopy Bench is designed to emulate the forest. Trees come together to create a canopy on which one can perch. Exploring the linearity of a tree trunk which then expands to create the forest canopy.

The Canopy Bench acts as an in-between place, inviting one to sit and maybe read a magazine or two.

By taking design influence from the forest, a certain natural context is abstracted and used as a blueprint for design. Bringing together the image and perception of nature through the forest.
