Contemporary outdoor bench in concrete for public spaces
JAN JANDER
Designer Jan Jander has a love affair that’s very concrete—in fact, his craft is all about revealing the organic beauty in concrete. Fewer than 50 pieces, all handmade, issue from his studio each year and are inspired by glorious concepts: unclad skyscrapers, moiré patterns, and the wash of light and darkness at any given time of the day, to name a few. Jander’s bench is a slab of gorgeous, mammoth decay. A weighty plinth that looks like it came straight out of a stone age atelier, the bench is composed of organically textured concrete, with mossy drips from the sides of the two legs that make it look like it’s been sitting out in nature for a hundred years or so. It’s the most stirring use of gross material we’ve seen in a while. Bravo, Jan!
Each piece feature's either the artist's impression or the client's impression from their sitting to ensure a couture fit. The client's impression serves as an abstract portrait, great for family portaits. Custom sizes available.
