The AR05 ESE is a low bench from the Amare Collection. The top is a rectangular upholstered pad in light beige textile, clean and flat. The defining element is the base: two dark wooden end supports that flare outward and upward from the seat, forming a wing-like profile when viewed from the side.
The geometry of the supports gives the bench an architectural quality despite its modest scale. The outward splay creates stability while introducing a dynamic line into an otherwise horizontal piece. Seen from certain angles, the support structure reads as structural sculpture.
Amare was founded in Italy by Bertille Achard de la Vente with the goal of making furniture that puts Tuscan raw materials at the center. The AR05 ESE applies that principle directly: pale textile above, dark shaped wood below, nothing between them but the contrast.

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.
