Coexist - Coexist Bench

Arielle Assouline-Lichten is an artist, architect, and multidisciplinary designer whose work explores materiality, ephemerality, and the pursuit of form. Her approach to furniture design is rooted in elevating overlooked source materials to create bespoke elegance with timeless materials. She is the founder of Slash Objects, a design studio based in New York and Paris, that exposes the tension between the natural world and man made processes. Arielle has studied and worked in Copenhagen and Tokyo, informing her minimal and intentional aesthetic. Her signature collection Coexist plays with balance, harmony, and grapples with the intersection between materials. Her collection Unbroken explores themes of transience, celebrates imperfection, and questions the ephemeral nature of materials over time. Guided by an architectural ethos, every piece is a study in balance and structure, meticulously crafted to honor both function and form. Each piece is made to order by world class artisans, creating collectible pieces that root together earth, hand, mind and body.
