Bow Table and Bench by Benjamin Hubert for De La Espada

Benjamin Hubert created the Bow series of furniture in collaboration with Portuguese manufacturer De La Espada. Consisting of a bench and table, the collection was launched at the London Design Festival. Also pictured above is the Tenda lamp we recently featured.

After many months of prototyping and testing, the final system developed consists of simple timber frames and surfaces held in tension by a rolled sheet of mild Steel. The rolling allows for a greater strength-to-weight ratio plus some flexibility to the seat. I think that the table would be a fantastic desk, too. I can even see this being used in some coworking offices.
