Wave Bench by John Cruz Iron Furniture Design Award Winner 2014

Wave Bench

Created from simple framing dimensional lumber and plywood strips, Wave is a unique bench that evokes simplicity in construction and elegance in form with a sculptor's touch. Its seating contours and individual blocks provide ergonomic support and comfort. Wave is designed by John Cruz, a veteran computer graphics designer coming from the video game industry. John wanted to merge both the virtual world of computer graphics imagery (CGI) and the real natural world by using his knowledge of CGI principles into the design and creation of contemporary furniture.
