Skagerak Maissi Bench
from Fritz Hansen
skagerak maissi bench
Design Wesley Walters & Salla Luhtasela, 2018
FSC™ certified solid oak
Skagerak by Fritz Hansen
Round yet edgy. Maissi is an artistic two-person bench inspired by the handrails from old stairs and industrial machinery. The narrow style and clean cuts make it perfect for welcoming guests in the hallway or as an extra seat in the living room. Arm is only available on the one side.
Wesley Walters & Salla Luhtasela also known as Studio Kaksikko are indeed a hybrid design constellation, where Nordic and American and Asian inspiration and traditions come together to give rise to new products and furniture. After teaming up at the university in Helsinki they established a joint studio in Finland, creating objects and furniture in a minimalist expression that is both new and old. New because of their mixed international background and eye for modern details, and old because of their fascination with and interest in traditions, techniques and old crafts, where they derive hands-on experience from 1:1 mock-ups that gives them a broad, eye-opening and concrete grasp of tactility, materials and functionality.
The Maissi Bench is 100% FSC™-oak. Oak is a sturdy and hardwearing antibacterial wood type. Its light, elegant color and well-defined grains makes oak a safe choice for high-quality interior. Skagerak oak comes from European forests and is selected carefully by hand to ensure the best and most durable quality in production. Oak is a natural material. It comes untreated, which means that it will react to grease, colorants, changes in air humidity, moisture and water. Optional treatment finishes make it more resistant, but be aware that the wood will change color when applying soap or oil.
