Ant Bench by Madheke
ANT BENCH
Launched at AD Design Show 2019.
The Ant bench is a seamless pure design employing carbon fibre’s innate qualities of strength, versatility and lightness. An expressive form, achieving a dynamic language throughout.
The inherent strength and the aesthetic appeal of carbon fibre inspired this futuristic bench. Its form has been derived by variating an ant’s head, arriving at a smooth curved form, almost as an element from a supercar. It feels firmly grounded yet dynamic, poised yet menacing.
The form pushes the limits of the material. It appears delicately perched on 3 points, yet it is steady and robust to serve its purpose. The sleek metal rod detail holds the form together visually, as well as functionally.
