ALICE Bench : Timeless Design and Sustainable Craftsmanship

The ALICE bench, a companion to the ALICE chair, carries forward its timeless design and architectural inspiration. Crafted in Portugal using traditional tech- niques and modern technology, this furniture piece is made with responsibly sourced solid wood and with cork plywood. Its construction minimizes waste and the use of responsibly sourced materials makes it an eco-friendly choice without compromising on quality or style. Combining both aesthetics and practicality, the ALICE bench showcases the distinctive texture of cork, creating a visually captivating experience. Beyond its visual appeal, cork brings a range of inherent properties such as durability, water resistance, and sound absorption, adding functionality to the piece. With a gently twisted seat, the bench offers both distinctive visual details and optimal comfort. This bench encourages shared seating while respecting individual space. And whether paired with the ALICE chair or as a standalone piece, it seamlessly blends into various settings, from workplaces to living rooms, kitchens, and bed- rooms. With the addition of a special finishing, it can also suit a terrace. So, the ALICE bench embodies eco-conscious principles while embracing sim- plicity, lightness, and the noble qualities of Portuguese tradition.
