Multi-purpose wood bench | Tomasz Chmielewski

The construction of bent timber makes for a quite elegant design for such an unusual looking picnic table. He made rounded forms to produce the effects of “grace” and symmetry in his design. This approach allows for some natural features of the wood grain to emphasize supplementary distinctiveness otherwise against a theoretical modern form.

“Sections of the model will reveal an exquisite elegance” as Tomasz states, “but it’s the duality of this fine piece of furniture that truly unexpected”. As one views upon a picnic bench they find a table with seating along the sides. If we flip the picnic table over we find two conjoined but outward facing bleachers that are apparent, which are the seating if flipped right side up.

The design is unique because it can adapt to situations where I could see it being used as a bench most of the time unless a group plans on eating at such a location.
