French designer Aurélie Richard collaborates with French beech veneer specialists La Saônoise to create the STRATE bench, a sculptural seat made from layered beech plywood that showcases expert craftsmanship.
The STRATE bench is a reinvention of the everyday bench, emphasizing Saônoise's precision and showcasing the material's construction through bold curves and exposed layers.
Crafted from certified beech plywood and available in DUO and SOLO versions, STRATE features optional modules like a curved backrest and coat rack, adding functionality while maintaining its sculptural appeal.
The collaboration between Aurélie Richard and La Saônoise celebrates craftsmanship, elevating plywood to a design statement and highlighting the potential of everyday materials when given creative space.
