Ripples

Ripples - Horm bench

Ripples, winner of the 2004 Compasso d’Oro, is made of a laminated composite of five different solid woods. Slide your hand along the surface to enjoy the seamless transitions between walnut, mahogany, cherry, oak, and ash. This enveloping seat, carved with mastery, is hand-finished to produce an elegant polychromatic effect arising from the ductility of the wood. A true icon of international design, Ripples is a bench suitable for home users, commercial environments, and public spaces.. Avaible in the outdoor version too by using okoume wood, also known as Gaboon, native of tropical West Africa and hence perfectly suited to withstand humidity or light rain. A recognised icon, its craftsmanship transmits the ever-delicate poetry of Toyo Ito.

The indoor seat is made from plywood using five different types of wood (walnut, mahogany, cherry, oak and ash). Inner metal reinforcement. Plywood legs with edging and walnut veneer (on the outside) and birch veneer (on the inside). Lower panel made from birch plywood, hot-press curved and with beech veeneer. Vegetable oil finish. Adjustable feet.
The outdoor seat is made from okumè plywood composed of various superimposed layers with crossed veins. Water draining hole in three inner concave seats. Inner metal reinforcement. Lower panel made from birch plywood, hot-press curved and with beech veneer. Finish with outdoor coating. Adjustable feet.
