Levitree Log Bench - Iteration I
The Levitree Log Bench by SENTIENT combines raw wood beauty and modern acrylic elegance, handcrafted in Brooklyn for a statement of timeless design.
The Levitree Bench by SENTIENT bridges the gap between untouched natural beauty and modern innovation. Designed by Nersi Nasseri, this exquisite piece is crafted from a single slab of raw wood, showcasing the unfiltered charm of its bark-lined edges and intricate grain patterns. The organic texture of the wood is balanced by sleek, transparent acrylic legs that seemingly suspend the bench in mid-air. This juxtaposition of natural ruggedness and contemporary minimalism highlights SENTIENT’s ability to transform raw materials into extraordinary works of functional art.
