Designed by Swedish studio Broberg and Ridderstråle, this simple yet distinguished Pause bench is a versatile furniture design that would make an exceptional addition to your living space. It is designed for the furniture brand Asplund, and it was created to be a “zen-like seat” that encourages and supports users to sit and rest, thereby inspiring the name Pause.
Designer: Broberg & Ridderstråle for Asplund
Crafted from a combination of lacquered oak veneer and solid oak, the Pause bench is a beautifully designed piece that is simple and humble, and yet possesses the ability to truly uplift any space it is placed into. The Pause bench is available with or without armrests, so you can pick the option that perfectly works for you. It is available in four color finishes, which include white stain and charcoal stain. The bench is a versatile furniture design that can be placed in a variety of settings ranging from a hallway behind a sofa or even at the foot of a bed.
“We have chosen a seemingly simple but high-quality material with obvious natural details to achieve the function and tactility that we have felt was missing in the market,” said creative director Sandra Adrian Asplund. “[It is] minimalistic and distinct with classic dignity that opens up for multiple uses in any space, public or domestic.” What makes the Pause bench stand out is its sheer simplicity and attention to detail, which allows it to truly stand out without occupying too much space, or commanding too much attention.
If you’re someone who loves minimal, subtle, and yet intricately designed furniture pieces then you must look into the Pause bench. It is the kind of furniture design that can uplift any living space with its simple contours, versatile utility, and humble aesthetics. Pick the finish that works well for your interior space!
