Quaker Bench

Rolf Shankley
1999

Eucalypt ‘Tasmanian Oak’
780mm (h) x 1200mm (w) x 580mm (d)

An understanding of classical proportions is an essential element of Rolf’s design. The bench aims to support a person quietly, both physically and mentally, to encourage contemplation. It is contoured to conform to body shape and to assist in locating the body in an upright position. Overall, the piece gives an impression of lightness and inspires a feeling of calm.
