The Weaver’s Bench

The Weaver’s Bench is part of The Weaver’s Collection. This collection came about when Gabriel Tan met Maria Adelina, a weaver in her sixties and the last known one in Paços Ferreira, a furniture producing town in Portugal. Gabriel Tan wanted to design a seating collection to showcase her craft - stools and benches with robust solid wood profiles strong enough to weave around and are very stable. This stretcher-less construction highlights the woven paper cord surface and gives it paramount attention.
