Tufted is a multifunctional bench that merges seating and storage with the tactile qualities of textiles. Crafted from solid ash, its gridded frame provides a sturdy foundation, while 15 bent laminations form a soft, quilt-like surface. This design draws inspiration from the care and comfort of quilting, while using the capabilities of bent lamination to mimic this inviting softness.



Each lamination is detached from the frame, allowing them to be rearranged to go from seating or surface to storage.
