The story

The AR04 ESE is a low rectangular bench from the Amare Collection. The base is dark textured wood with two inward-curving supports, their sculptural form creating a dynamic silhouette that changes depending on the viewing angle. Above it, a flat beige textile cushion spans the full width, its surface smooth against the rough grain of the wood below.

The tension between the curving inward base and the clean horizontal seat is the structural logic of the piece. The supports do not converge into conventional legs: they taper toward the floor in a movement that is both practical and visually resolved.

Bertille Achard de la Vente designed the Amare Collection to make furniture from the particular character of Tuscan wood and stone. The AR04 ESE focuses that ambition on a single wood form: the grain is pronounced, the surface carries natural marks, and the curve belongs to the material as much as to the design.

Handcrafted in Italy. Available through the Monde Singulier catalog.

About Amare

AMARE is an Italian design studio founded by Bertille Achard de la Vente. Based in Tuscany, the studio makes furniture at the intersection of minimalism and brutalism, drawing on the particular stones, woods, and metals of the region.

Achard de la Vente established AMARE around a single premise: that raw material deserves to be the subject of a piece, not its backdrop. Each object in the Amare Collection is designed to make the source material visible. The wood is distressed rather than smoothed. The stone carries its veining without intervention. The steel ages rather than being sealed. Nothing is mediated away from what the original material was.

The Amare Collection spans seating, tables, and lighting. The seating pieces, chaise longues and benches, share a low grounded geometry. Their bases are dark, worked from Tuscan wood that retains its natural texture; the upholstered surfaces are pale beige textile, quiet against the rough base below. The contrast is the design.

The tables work in a different register. The AR03 ESE is two concentric discs in dark weathered steel. The AR13 and AR14 combine dark wood with black stone, gold veining running through the material in lines that respond to the angle of light. The tables sit close to the floor, the stone panels legible from a standing position.

The lighting, a series of octagonal pendant forms cast in light beige composite material, extends the studio's language into the ceiling plane. Each pendant is faceted and sculptural, suspended by a thin wire that keeps the object rather than its mounting in view.

AMARE pieces are unique and handcrafted in Italy. The full collection is available through [Monde Singulier](https://www.monde-singulier.com/collections/amare_collection).
