Amada was designed for a private client who wanted a large bench flowing through his space. Designer and artist Matthias Pliessnig designed the piece to direct the sitter to face multiple directions due to the functions of the space, an idea that helped to dictate the initial design. Amada is made completely of air-dried responsibly harvested white oak. It exposes the boundary-pushing capabilities of an ancient material influenced by nature, the lines of a boat, and the beauty of fluid dynamics. Much of the work is built with strips of wood evoking a sense of line drawing using the energies of dynamic paths and organic growth. The final vocabulary encourages a new conversation between materials, body, and space.
