Vilkaite Bench

Vilakas bench contrasts hard angular geometry with a soft cotton weave to create a harmony in the piece of furniture. Inspiration for the piece came from Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s furniture designs. The Vilakas Bench utilizes red oak, walnut, and cotton yarn. The red oak depicts the same type of wood that was used in many of Charles Rennie’s works, while the walnut odes to the dark lacquer that the furniture was painted. The navy blue was chosen as a contrast to the piece both in color and texture.
