The X-Bench from Pulpo blurs the boundary between use and contemplation in its combination of oak structure and metallic top. Neither fully furniture nor sculpture, it challenges how we engage with everyday objects. Designer Xaver Sedelmeier invites a pause —an interruption of routine —where function becomes idea and material becomes experience. Available in a selection of metallic finishes, the X-Bench can be embellished with a cylindrical cushion available in grey foam or black leather.
