The 3SB is a low bench by Heim+Viladrich, made from pale, light-toned wood.
The top beam follows a subtle undulating line from one end to the other. Two T-shaped legs support it from below, each with a widened base that spreads into the floor plane. The form reads as organic without being decorative. Smooth transitions between beam and legs make the piece feel carved rather than assembled.
Pale wood is used throughout, preserving the material's natural texture. The horizontal proportions are generous, and the gentle movement of the top surface is the piece's primary gesture.
Part of the Heim+Viladrich Collection, the 3SB demonstrates the studio's interest in natural forms and structural economy. The organic lines sit within the same formal language as the rest of the collection, which favors visible construction and material coherence over applied decoration.

About
Heim+Viladrich
Heim+Viladrich is a design studio founded in 2022 by Lauriane Heim and Johan Viladrich, based in Montpellier, France. Their approach is deeply rooted in context analysis, relying on meticulous research in the use of local materials and in the mastery of employed techniques. Through their projects, the studio has developed a coherent visual language, with rigorous attention running from overall composition down to individual details.
The studio's signature is mono-material construction with structural transparency: visible joints, raw aluminum, galvanized steel. These choices reflect an "economy of gesture," harmonizing material and process to produce work that is understated and precisely made. The duo maintains a direct relationship with production, working to leave materials as untouched as possible and reusing them across projects.
The practice is interdisciplinary, spanning design objects, scenographies, interiors, and publications. Commercial commissions and self-initiated work sit alongside each other, each domain sharpening the studio's ability to identify what is specific to a given project.
Their first major public work, Aire A75 (2022), translated the highway rest stops of the A75 motorway in southern France into a modular, mono-material installation. Presented at COLLECTIBLE in Brussels, it led to the studio being invited to design the scenography for COLLECTIBLE 2023's Curated Section the following year. Their mirror Steam was shown at Private Choice in 2024.
