UK-based raw edges (yael mer and shay akalay) designed 'plaid bench' as part of the bench 10 project -
organized by the lollipop shoppe - during london design week 2010. the seating unit consists of
three different benches: a hardwood version, a plywood bench painted white, as well as a pine construction
which has been painted in bright blues and greens. each of the designs can stand alone, however,
raw edges has made the three benches in such a way that they interlock into one another horizontally
and vertically, creating a large rectangular platform forming a vibrant plaid pattern.
