ZANAT ILSE CRAWFORD TOUCH BENCH WOODEN LEGS

STUDIO ILSE FOR ZANAT

To touch is both to feel physically and sense emotionally. Touch is a collection of universal benches, their special quality lies in the hand-carved surfaces that engage our instinctive impulse to feel something, and reflect our hunger for more tactile surroundings in the digital age. The benches are hand-made in Bosnia Herzegovina using Zanat’s wood carving skills. The carvings on the benches take two man-days to execute and since the craftsmen carve the pieces at random, without drawings, each bench is unique as no two carved surfaces will ever look the same.
