Banco Bench
Fritz Hansen

The surface of untreated teak will patinate over time to eventually become a silvery grey colour. Allowing natural patination to develop does not affect the durability or quality of the material. However, to preserve or intensify the original honey-golden colour, a suitable furniture oil should be regularly applied.

Originally designed for an outdoor exhibition in Finland called Social Seating, the Banco Bench by Hugo Passos derives beauty from the simple premise of creating something that enhances the experience of nature.

The organic backrest is both expressive and functional, perfectly shaped for the contour of the back.
