A-B01 bench, 150 cm, smoked oak

Karimoku Case’s A-B01 bench is a versatile wooden piece designed for both seating and displaying or storing your favourite items. Created by Japanese designer Keiji Ashizawa, the bench reflects the shared values of Japanese and Scandinavian design: clean simplicity, carefully considered proportions, and timeless appeal.

The elegantly understated oak bench is brought to life by its sculptural leg structure, which adds a touch of lightness and subtle contrast to the design. The A-B01 bench can be paired with a separately sold seat cushion, but the beautifully grained wood makes it just as striking on its own.
