for milan design week 2011, london based-studio raw edges has created 'plaid bench' in collaboration
with italian gallery dilmos.

assembled out of interlocking urban benches, the wooden objects feature a graphic aesthetic reminiscent
of iconic plaid and check patterns. each unique in composition, the collection looks to alter the common
archetype of the bench, combining contrasting colors, forms and materials to create new
and recognizable pieces.
