The Infinity Bench by Carl Fredrik Svenstedt
Carl Fredrik Svenstedt has projected the Infinity Bench furniture for lerival and has just been presented in ICFF 2009. The organic shape of this bench / table / recliner is the result of clever mathematics. The rings are serial, concentric hoops, like the layers of an onion, cut from less than 3.4 m² of flat furniture-grade plywood using CNC technology. The variations in diameter of the rings create a structurally stable, undulating sequence.
Carl Fredrik Svenstedt, a Paris-based architect, works on international architecture projects and industrial design, and everything in-between. He believes in the continuum of the designed world, and designs across the whole spectrum of scale: from the macro city down to the tangible, hand-held object
