benched again!

after seeing the new black scale benches from wednesday's
post, we were reminded by a friend in las vegas of the work
we did a few years back in his part of the world for house of
commons . he LOVED the center bench when shopping
in joseph and saskia's killer retail space and wishes they
would return and open a new store, bringing the bench
back with them.

truth is, that was one of our favorite benches too and the
experience of working with saskia and joseph on the design
of their space was an absolute pleasure. they were one of
our most considerate and appreciative clients we've ever had
the opportunity to work with.

made from dark walnut, (faux) black leather and a powder-
coated metal frame, the center bench held court nicely in their
space. the smaller bench was also walnut and metal and was
used as a roving piece for both display and seating.

joseph's not doing too much sitting these days unless it's on
his colnago frame. the kid's gone crazy like that. check out
his blog.
