    A whole pine log runs through the centre of the AA Bench, sandwiched between a seat and an inverted V form. The bench is a blunt and honest presentation of its raw material: pine sections are unpretentiously stacked as though in a timber yard. And yet joining together these hefty elements requires substantial carpentry skill. Exploring material connections is a preoccupation in Kwangho Lee’s work. Here, he has turned that attention into a design that is both brutal and direct, yet delicate and reserved too.

    Material Characteristics

    Pine gets better with age. The colours mature to a deeper palette. The heartwood and sapwood age at different speeds and bring out the natural patterns of the grains. After a few years, pine will settle into a rich and complex honey tone
     
    Pine is a soft wood and will get dents and bruises over the years. But don’t think of them as blemishes or flaws. Embrace them. They’re evidence of life lived and furniture loved. Pine isn’t life-proof. It’s proof of life.
     
    All our products are locally made by select Finnish makers and specialists.

    Every pine tree is harvested from sustainably managed Finnish forests. The wood is hand-selected of the highest quality and each piece has its own unique colours and grain patterns.

    The Designer

    Kwangho Lee

    Korean designer Kwangho Lee is particularly interested in the union of materials and tries to capture this ‘moment of connection’ in the objects he creates. Since establishing his studio in Seoul, Lee has dedicated himself to giving new function and meaning to everyday objects, often using methods of construction as the starting point for his covetable designs.
