The Artifort Lagos bench, designed by Nel Verschuuren and Kho Liang Ie, is an iconic piece of Dutch design from the late twentieth century. This specific model, originally designed for public spaces such as airports, combines a robust industrial aesthetic with a surprisingly comfortable seating experience.
The bench is constructed from a sturdy aluminum frame with a distinctive perforated seat shell. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a durable grey fabric that contrasts beautifully with the silver-colored metal. The clean lines and minimalist profile are typical of the functional approach of both designers.
The furniture is in good condition, commensurate with its age and previous use. The original finish and upholstery have been preserved, contributing to the authentic character of this industrial design.
