Product • By Edoardo Milesi & ArchosIroko bench

Iroko bench

The bench, inspired by sailboat decks, is crafted entirely from iroko wood, chosen for its exceptional resistance to weather and salt. The supporting structure consists of a rigid frame with solid wood crossbars, ensuring stability and strength, while the seat is composed of iroko slats aligned longitudinally. The slats, with a thickness of around 20 mm, are spaced evenly, with joints filled with black elastomeric rubber. This material, commonly used on naval decks, is chosen for its elastic and waterproof properties, which allow it to absorb the wood’s thermal expansions, preventing cracks and deformations.

These symbols are synonymous with the City and can be seen throughout the district, typically on buildings, gateways and street furniture. From the archetypal shield motif, a subtly altered, tessellating tile geomet... More
