Indonesian Bench / Day Bed

A bench with one shoulder higher than the other.

This bench or day bed is contemporary work in bangkirai wood from Indonesia. Bangkirai is a dense Southeast Asian hardwood commonly used where durability matters. A thick slab with a natural edge forms the seat, on four tapered dark legs. Behind it stands a second slab, sloping away at one end, with two dark butterfly joints set across a seam. The reddish grain runs in long waves. It is 77 inches long and 41.25 high.

Lie down. The tree has already done the difficult part.
