The Coexist Bench pairs two freestanding travertine blocks with a slender wood beam and a plush textile cushion, forming a low seat that holds its own as much through material contrast as through composition.
The design by Arielle Assouline-Lichten reads as an exercise in deliberate restraint. Two rectangular stone supports, left raw enough to show the travertine's porous surface, carry a pale wood member across the span. The cushion above in a neutral beige cloth completes the trio without overwhelming either element beneath it. Light grazes the stone and throws defined shadows that shift through the day, making the piece sensitive to its environment.
Travertine, warm-toned wood, and soft textile each bring a different weight and tactility. The stone grounds the piece; the wood introduces warmth; the cushion invites use. None competes for attention, and that balance is what makes the Coexist Bench distinctive among designer travertine benches.
The bench is part of the Coexist collection, Slash Objects' exploration of coexistence between geological time and human craft. Each piece is made to order by specialist artisans, ensuring the material selections and proportions remain true to Arielle Assouline-Lichten's original intent. Available through Monde Singulier.
