Silent Bench

Silent Bench is a minimal bench designed by Sweden-based studio Massproductions. Massproductions has introduced the Silent Bench, a minimalist, geometric bench made from solid beech. The space between the seat and the relatively high back lends the bench a distinct sculptural aesthetic. The design emphasizes the bench’s robust construction, with every detail serving to reinforce its stability. Chris Martin, Massproductions’ head of design, has been drawn to benches for years, particularly the unassuming wooden ones found in museums. These benches often blend seamlessly into their surroundings without detracting from the exhibits. The Silent Bench was inspired by such museum benches, but it stands apart due to its unique design, material treatment, and construction process. Martin would choose this bench for its thoughtful approach to materials and construction. Martin emphasizes the importance of respecting the material and its properties, such as the wood’s structure, strength, and eventual comfort in the finished piece. The Silent Bench was designed to showcase the natural beauty of wood without sacrificing comfort, creating a functional and visually appealing piece of furniture.
