Cool Pop Rivet Bench Inspired from Antique Swedish Bentwood Boxes by TAF

September 21, 2010 Filed Under: Seating Design

Pop Rivet Bench was one of ten public benches that were created to celebrate the 2010 London Design Festival as well as the launch of The Lollipop Shoppe. Inspired by the antique Swedish Bentwood boxes for keeping butter, the Pop Rivet Bench is designed by Swedish architects TAF. It is named for the use of pop rivets to meld the sheets together instead of the traditional lace.

Comes in combination between two traditional handicrafts, the bench has simple design. It is nonetheless incredibly sophisticated as well-having much to do with its pure white aesthetic. The Pop Rivet bench is made out of three pieces aluminum sheets (front, back and the back rest) that are swept around the oval shaped aluminum seat. Then, the sheet is drilled and put together with Pop rivets. It is a very well-known and simple technique for put materials together. The technique is under estimated since it is really smart, functional and also brings a pattern to the product. So it makes the project very easy to produce and use. I think this cool bench offers the benefits of rest and reflection time in a busy world. For more info click here.
