The Slice Bench is the outcome of a furniture design course at Aalto University, where the objective was to create a bench for two using metal rods and wood. The design concept revolves around how two people might sit beside each other, whether they are familiar with one another or not. By incorporating both straight and curved lines in the bench, it offers different seating possibilities. The name "Slice" refers to the segmented seat design, which intentionally reveals the metal structure beneath. Rather than concealing the metal framework, the slices expose it, creating a visual dialogue between the materials. The result is a bench that balances functionality with a strong emphasis on material expression, inviting users to interact with both wood and metal in a unique way.
