Relaxed Bench: Grand Square 6-Seater

CAD $1,460 – $2,000

Based on Florence Knoll’s original 1954 classic Lounge Series, the Relaxed 6-Seat Square Bench offers a more modern, comfortable profile than the original series’ benches.

This versatile piece functions as a table and bench, reflecting Florence Knoll’s dedication to objective perfectionism and rational design, influenced by her mentor Mies van der Rohe.

The “Relaxed” version bench comfortably seats 5 people. It features a soft seat and deep proportions, respecting Florence Knoll’s original 1954 lounge series designs.

Relaxed Square Bench shown in Large “Grand” Size with Umbria Italian Aniline Leather upholstery on Polished Chrome Steel base.
