Custom Floating Ipe Benches

Floating Ipe Benches for Rooftop Terrace

A series of Ipe benches for a San Diego rooftop terrace, each one carried on concealed stainless steel framing so the wood appears to float above the paving. Nothing visible holds them up.
Ipe suits this kind of work. It is dense and tight grained, it takes heavy public use, and it keeps looking like good wood for a long time.
Built as a one-off for this terrace. See more custom site furniture.
