Mule

Highlighting the skilled craftsmanship and the richness of material, Mule is a family of wooden benches with the elegant sculptural form, constructed with two monoliths in solid wood that support the suspended seat.

Mule can be interpreted in many different ways; from temporary seatings in a showroom or retail space, to a portable surface at home, for books and cell phone in the living room, as a nightstand or valet stand in the bedroom, or as a storage solution in the bathroom. 

The bench is available in two sizes in a refined palette: olive green and oxide red, in addition to the classic black or smoke stain and natural ash.

Designer Alessandro Stabile says, "It's like a small temple that, with its solid continuity, conveys a sense of calm and seems to slow down the perception of time in those who observe it, inviting them to sit for a break in the flow of everyday life."
