Dressing Bench emerged from a semester-long exploration of metal conduit as a design material. Easily sourced and simple to manipulate, conduit is rarely associated with refined furniture — yet that tension became the heart of the project. After exploring a range of directions, from bookcases to modular furniture systems, the design landed on this bench, made for a girl's bedroom.
