‘shongololo bench’ by louis henri

 

 

completely made by hand the ‘shongololo bench’ by london-based designer louis henri is manufactured using a cold curing process – where thin layers of walnut veneer sheets are moulded into a custom made frame. the bench is then upholstered with eelskin panels and accented with small silver studs. 56 hand-turned walnut legs and acrylic foot details are integrated into the piece – as the shadows created by the interplay of the silhouette’s positive and negative space enable the furniture to really connect with its environment and viewers.
