The Weekday Bench, designed by Hannes & Fritz, draws inspiration from an impromptu seating solution at a dinner party. This bench embodies the original concept of bringing people together, featuring a solid, robust presence softened by rounded joints, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for shared dining and social gatherings. Constructed with the same straightforward design as traditional picnic benches, it utilizes strong, durable pine planks that will age beautifully over time. Dimensions: L 111 x Depth 23cm x H 45cm. The Hannes & Fritz studio, operating between Stuttgart and Zurich, comprises two talented young designers: Hannes Breuer and Fritz Gräber. Their Weekday outdoor furniture collection originated from their eco-responsible project "Bench TWO", initially created in limited quantities. This two-person bench, with its reduced dimensions, is crafted from a single 3-metre pine plank, utilizing all the wood with zero waste. Its narrower profile compared to standard benches makes it suitable for tighter spaces without compromising seating comfort. In collaboration with Hay, the designers have expanded this project into a comprehensive collection of outdoor benches and tables, perfect for creating a stylish, original, and durable dining area in your garden. All pieces are made from FSC™-certified solid pine, adhering to a zero-waste manufacturing principle. The precise cutting of boards ensures minimal wood offcuts. The wood is finished with an eco-friendly, water-based outdoor lacquer. The seats and tops consist of planks supported by a sturdy base. These furniture items possess a simple, familiar aesthetic, combining rigorous, clean forms with a delightful palette of fresh colors. The Weekday collection balances vibrant energy with understated elegance, blending poetry with geometry. Cushions for the benches are available separately.
