American designer Mattias Pliessnig built this curvy custom bench out of thin sheets of oak:
pliessnig recently completed 'amada', a design for a private client who wanted a large bench flowing through his living space. the piece was designed to direct the sitter to face multiple directions. the seating unit is made entirely of air-dried responsibly harvested white oak that has been steam bent to create the curvaceous form of the bench.

It looks like works better as a sculpture that it would work as furniture. I've seen more comfortable looking church pews. Maybe furniture doesn't have to be comfortable if it is arty enough.

That is gorgeous. It looks like a river of caramel.
