Essential in its forms and authentic in its materials, Hortus reinterprets the archetype of the outdoor bench, transforming it into an element capable of engaging with contemporary architecture. Used individually or in serial compositions, it introduces a more natural and informal dimension into interiors, inviting pause, interaction and sharing.
Like a discreet presence within a garden or public space, Hortus helps redefine lounge areas, break-out spaces, refreshment zones and workplaces, offering new ways of relating to and inhabiting space.
Hortus is a monolithic solid-wood bench that combines memory, constructional simplicity and a strong architectural character.

Wood-to-wood joints and connections inspired by authentic craftsmanship traditions define an essential and rigorous structure. Clean geometric lines create an instantly recognisable silhouette, while the natural expressiveness of the material softens its character, resulting in a balanced and welcoming presence.

Its name derives from the Latin term hortus, originally used to describe a garden or cultivated space. A reference that evokes the relationship between people, nature and architecture, translated into a bench with a solid yet measured presence, capable of bringing identity and order to a space without sacrificing the purity of its design.
Crafted from solid ash wood, Hortus celebrates the material in its most authentic expression. Grain patterns, tonal variations and the natural ageing process of the wood make each piece unique and unrepeatable. A living material that embraces the passage of time as an integral part of its beauty.
