Loop Banquette Rembourrée – / Fabric & Curved Beech L 145 Cm – Wiener GTV Design

Responding to the invitation extended by historic manufacturer Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, designer India Mahdavi created the Loop bench. With its playful curves, this bench has the charm of a hand-sketched drawing and benefits from the ancestral expertise of the famous Venice-based creative studio: “Gebrüder Thonet Vienna is the only manufacturer in the world that lets you translate a freehand design into a living piece in wood of this quality.”The steam-bent wood element, the lietmotiv of the Wiener GTV Design brand, has been featured in this project in an unexpected way in the form of loops, that India has designed in single stroke, without lifting her pencil from the sheet of paper, remaining faithful to the idea of movement. The bent beech frame traces a line that winds in on itself, before continuing its path, leaving two folded loops in its wake. These charming buckles push the limits of the curved wood: the wood doubles its efforts to boost its beauty and rounded contours. India worked with a subtle colour palette: the structure and fabric covering come in similar, but not quite identical, tonal combinations. Rich materials, high standards of quality, exceptional finishes and an original form, all wonderfully characteristic of the Wiener GTV Design spirit. Drawing on the tradition and way of thinking of Michael Thonet, Wiener GTV Design develops products rooted in an innovative, meticulous design process. A team of designers, creators and artisans produces unique products of exceptional craftsmanship. The durability of the products is at the centre of the development process. This comfortable, padded Loop bench will be perfect for brightening up an entrance hall, a balcony or a living room. Cosy and colourful, it creates an ambiance that is simultaneously bohemian, modern and on-trend.The benches are perfect for creating cosy corners brimming with softness. Ideal for reading or welcoming friends passing by, this bench can also be paired with the armchair from the same collection to create a harmonious, matching space.
