Aluminum Bench

Yasanche by Yashesh Virkar
India

The Aluminium Bench is part of a new collection by Yasanche, designed as a one-of-a-kind piece that merges functionality with artistic expression. More than just seating, it is envisioned as an awe-inspiring object that brings character into a space.

Its design draws from the visual language of age-old Indian civilization, particularly the architectural forms found in abandoned temple ruins. The cast aluminium legs echo the appearance of weathered pillars, grounding the piece in a strong cultural reference.

In contrast, the upholstered seat in llama faux fur introduces softness and comfort, creating a balance between structure and tactility. The bench’s light colour palette and defined silhouette contribute to its overall allure.

Each bench is hand sand-cast, ensuring variations in detail that reinforces its one-of-a-kind nature. The piece reflects a thoughtful approach to design, where form, material, and craftsmanship come together to create an object that is both functional and visually distinctive.
