About ALMA
ALMA is a bench sculpted from a single block of solid cedar wood, embodying the essence of nature transformed through human design. This piece pays tribute to what we perceive as most enduring and meaningful in our collective imagination, drawing inspiration from the organic beauty of animal forms.
The top surface features an intricate carved texture reminiscent of scales and irregular organic patterns, where visual chaos reveals an underlying order. This interplay of asymmetry and structure evokes a sense of geometric divinity, a human interpretation of nature’s spontaneity through a contemporary lens. Its sculptural presence feels almost alive, giving meaning to its name: ALMA, or “soul,” an object that transcends mere function.
The bench merges artisanal craftsmanship with industrial processes, taking full advantage of the strength and expressive character of solid wood. The carved textures are not only visually striking but also invite tactile interaction, creating a rich, multisensory experience.
ALMA is both functional and artistic, designed to elevate outdoor spaces into environments of reflection and connection. Its durability, paired with the warmth of natural materials, makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a design that resonates beyond the everyday, a symbol of harmony between the natural world and human creativity.
