2004 - BENCHmark

Nurmesniemi, Antti, Finland Pinna, 1980 Iroko teak, painted 49 x 31 1/2x 21 1/2’ collection LHR, gift of the artist, 2004 “Product and environment design is the most recent addition to our terminology. As a term it strives to cover the entire field from handicrafts to industrial design. It emphasizes the interdependence of products and underlines the fact that even a small object is part of a greater whole and influences it”. Antti’s garden seat is a wooden version of her former steel designs. The benches can be easily put together and removed for summer/winter conditions.
