LOVESEAT by Jake Phipps
Sculptural twin bench in solid cedar. Suitable for indoors and out.
It was the genteel Victorians who originally popularised the loveseat. Courting couples could whisper sweet nothings whilst remaining seated in a state of chaste restraint. Although we might laugh at such primness and exaggerated propriety, the loveseat remains a powerful symbol of love and romance.
The seat’s form suggests the duality of a loving and successful partnership: fundamentally opposed, yet with complimentary principles of balance and unity. Facing in opposite directions, a couple can share a conversation, with their different perspectives providing a more complete outlook on the world around them.
The benefit of a true wicker loveseat, one made from organic materials, is that the resources are renewable and eco-friendly both in the manufacturing process but also when it’s time to dispose of them.
