With its harmonious proportions, the Mos bench by GamFratesi serves a dual function: both as a seat and a storage element with an openwork surface. It is a contemporary take on a classic bedroom piece — ideal at the foot of the bed — yet with its discreet and refined character, it also stands out in an entryway or living room. Visibly light and delicate with its elliptical shape, the bench reveals its essence through attention to detail: from the elegant Viennese cane shell that conceals the lower support surface and connects seamlessly to the seat, to the legs finished with brass tips. The frame is made of steam-bent beech, and the support surface is crafted from ash with an open-pore lacquer finish.
The GamFratesi studio was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. GamFratesi is part of the latest generation of furniture designers, and together they represent a new interpretation of Danish and international design. GamFratesi's designs draw their creative impetus from the fusion of tradition and renewal, as well as from an experimental approach to materials and techniques. With their respective cultures, they draw their inspiration from Danish furniture and Scandinavian craft traditions, but also from Italy's timeless conceptual and intellectual approach. Thanks to this multi-cultural partnership, GamFratesi creates furniture pieces that reflect tradition while presenting unique stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist style. The GamFratesi duo works with some of the biggest names in design, including Gubi, with the Bat collection and the now famous Beetle chair, Hay, with the Silhouette sofa, and also Minotti, Dedon and Fontana Arte.
