Product description
Are you searching for an authentic, signed brutalist design piece that combines sculptural weight with organic warmth? Distinguish your interior with a rare collectible that bridges architecture and artisan cabinetry. Designed by Italian architect Giovanni Michelucci in the 1970s, this brutalist bench is constructed entirely from thick, premium solid walnut. Renowned for his architectural joinery and honest expression of materials (most famous for his work with Poltronova), Michelucci created a piece defined by strong geometric lines, thick slab proportion, and splayed trestle legs connected by a robust central stretcher. The bench features a branded, original signature stamp, G. Michelucci hot-stamped directly into the front right edge of the solid wood top, providing indisputable provenance and collector authenticity. Versatile in function, this piece serves beautifully as a low coffee table, a statement entryway bench, or seating at the foot of a bed in a modern or mid-century interior. Arriving in excellent vintage condition, the piece has been professionally cleaned, sanitized, and nourished with natural beeswax. The solid walnut exhibits a rich, warm grain pattern and deep natural patina, with only light, age-appropriate signs of use that enhance its authentic vintage character. How to clean and maintain solid walnut surfaces? Gently dust the wooden top and legs using a dry, soft microfiber cloth along the direction of the wood grain. Nourishment & Protection: Apply a high-grade natural beeswax or organic wood balm once or twice a year using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb for 20 minutes, then buff lightly to maintain the rich depth and moisture of the walnut. What to Avoid: Keep the bench away from direct heat sources like radiators and long exposures to harsh sunlight to prevent wood movement or drying. Never use water-drenched rags, silicone-based polishes, or harsh chemical detergents. W.180 / D.40 / H.40 (cm)
