The seat itself, available in either spruce or exotic woods, can be finished according to the provided links to exemplify the wood's natural beauty or varnished colours. These options allow the bench to be seamlessly integrated into different settings, from modern cityscapes to more natural environments.
Designed for secure installation, the Origami Bench is mounted by bolts to a foundation, ensuring stability and safety in public or private spaces. This bench, devoid of a backrest and highlighting its modular nature, offers flexibility in spatial design, supporting multiple arrangements conducive to social interactions or solitary repose.
