aiming to highlight the ancient know-how and craftsmanship of anatolia, turkey, tim defleur has collaborated with oza design to create ‘the bench for oza’, a simple and asymmetrical seating object with a braided top. presented at hotel bloom during brussels design september 2015, the bench has a clean aesthetic that plays with subtle and unexpected elements.

the colored non-woven fabric under the caning pattern makes the rattan stand out
in order to make the rattan braiding the focal point, defleur has placed a non-woven colored fabric under it to make the caning pattern stand out, creating a sophisticated element that catches the eye. completely made out of oak, the seat has a side outgrowth that allows users to place their belongings like keys, notebooks and phones or even a small table lamp.
