The SSBO1W Bench is a low, rectilinear seat in MDF and burgundy eucalyptus veneer, one of four pieces in the debut Sashaxsasha Collection.
Its most distinctive detail is the central notch cut into the top surface, a gesture that breaks the mass without diminishing it. Two inward-set rectangular blocks replace conventional legs, positioning the seat plane close to the floor and creating the impression of a form that barely touches the ground. The proportions are deliberate: long, flat, uninterrupted aside from that single incision.
The material does much of the work here. Burgundy eucalyptus veneer reads almost like a geological surface, deep reddish-brown with a prominent figuring that shifts under changing light. The MDF substrate keeps the geometry precise and the edges clean.
Alexandra Gineva and Alexander Dobrovskiy founded sashaxsasha in Paris in 2019, after training in architecture in Ghent. Their furniture carries that training. Each piece resolves form and material as a single argument, never as decoration. The SSBO1W Bench is available exclusively through Monde Singulier.

About
Sashaxsasha
Alexandra Gineva and Alexander Dobrovskiy, both nicknamed Sasha, met while studying architecture in Ghent, Belgium, far from their native Moscow. That shared name became a design identity: sashaxsasha. In 2013 they founded Masterskaya Be, an architecture practice; in 2019 they launched sashaxsasha as a dedicated product design studio, based in Paris.
The two disciplines remain inseparable in their work. Architecture gives their objects weight and proportion; art, contemporary and classical, drawn from a lifetime of looking, provides the narrative. Each piece reads as a compressed argument: formal in construction, personal at its core. The studio describes its work as playful and monumental, and that tension is deliberate: a lamp can carry the gravity of a monument, a shelf can hold the lightness of a sketch.
Private and public commissions run alongside the collectible work, keeping the duo in conversation with both domestic and institutional scales. This dual practice, spanning architecture and product design, defines how sashaxsasha approaches the collectible design market: not as decoration, but as object-making with a point of view.
Their work is available on Monde Singulier.
