London design duo VW+BS has created a seating set made out of concrete and metal rods dubbed Bench 10. Bench 10 was created for the upcoming London Design Festival, which will showcase the countries best designers.
I love the mix of classic materials and contemporary styling that VW+BS has put into Bench 10. Everyone has sat on a concrete bench or a wire seat at least once in their lives, but VW+BS successfully mixes the two while giving it an updated and sophisticated look.
