This is a new take on the outdoor bench.
Spotted at Gardener's Supply, the Spirit Song Bench is made of many close fitted pieces of 100% American Eco-Teak and comes with an award winning pedigree. It comes in a straight and a curved version with prices that range from $4320-$5000. (Thanks, Sara!)
Interesting looking - but uses a lot of wood to do something pretty simple - hold your ass. We're seeing a lot of this NURBS computer modelling - laser or jigsaw cut - densely fitted parallel shapes to make a big heavy piece of wood or aluminum or steel or cardboard piece of furniture. When will we be done with this trend?
We'll be done with this trend when people stop wanting to shell out $5000 for a garden bench and websites such as AT stop pushing them.
