057 Civil Bench Cassina

The 057 Civil Bench, which is part of the Cassina collection and was designed as a tribute to the Swiss architect and designer Pierre Jeanneret, is the product of research into the utilization of basic materials that are indispensable in day-to-day living.

The bench's seat is made of Vienna straw, and its exposed structure takes the form of an inverted "V" that works as a support; these features contribute to the bench's uniqueness and exclusivity. The framework is constructed from conventional Burma teak wood or solid oak to re-establish the minimalist aesthetic the designer was going for.

In support of local industry and crafts, Pierre Jeanneret combines the materials of traditional Indian culture with easily accessible materials like wood to give life to simple shapes. This is a perfect blend of the modern European ideal and the work of the craftsman. Pierre Jeanneret 's projects stand out not just for their innovative design but also for their exceptional cost-effectiveness, thanks to his distinctive approach to both conception and design.
