Bent
Tactile benches shaped by digital weaving
Playful seating reimagined
Sculptural seating for indoor & outdoor use
-
Bent is a collection of bold, sculptural benches defined by a soft, oversized texture inspired by knitting. Each piece is robotically 3D printed from recycled plastic, folding and looping the material into thick, knotted patterns that are both playful and structural.
First launched at Alcova during Milan Design Week 2023, the collection was presented in a series of soft pastel colours and swinging forms, inviting interaction in public space.
Designed for indoor and outdoor use, the benches offer a permeable surface that allows water drainage and requires no internal support. Their curved silhouettes encourage rest, leaning, and conversation, inviting spontaneous engagement and touch.
Available in three sizes and two colours, Knotty blends digital fabrication with craft sensibility, offering a new material language for public space, hospitality, and cultural venues.
