ITEM Amsterdam - Mae Engelgeer - Bench - Various Bench (special edition Milano 2024) - Steel an leather

Various bench (special edition Milano 2024) by Mae Engelgeer\r
\r
The Various series are an exploration on curved steel by using the same radius to bend all corners. It is a search for an elegant play of tubes in different diameter creating a slightly bold yet very airy and refined aesthetic. The smooth touch of Dutch traceable leather in slightly uncommon hues creates a tonal connection between all materials giving the pieces an imposing yet smooth appearance. \r

For Catawiki Mae collected a vintage kimono in Kyoto, Japan with an uncommon pattern and soft color palette. In combination with a custom color for the frame and the pink leather it creates a special which fits the language of the various bench and her signature coloring. \r
