Italian Modernist Teak and Leather Bench by Inge and Luciano Rubino

Creator: Inge and Luciano Rubino
Offered by: Jarontiques

$ 9,800
  • Description
    Bench designed by Inge and Luciano Rubino in 1964 for Apec Italy.
    Of the few pieces of furniture the Danish/Italian couple designed, this bench is the most iconic and coveted. Long version composed of slatted teakwood with double molded-leather 'wave' seat and black enameled-steel legs (the orientation of the legs is different at each end by design).
    The teakwood (largely employed in Danish/Scandinavian design) coupled with the form of the piece (which is aesthetically Italian Modernist) yields a perfect marriage reflecting each respective designer's background.
    New gray leather upholstery. Teak has been refinished. Only light wear remains (namely, a ding to the slatted section, as shown). Smaller model published on page 124 of L'Arredamento Moderno, Settima Serie, Aloi.
    H: 13.5" x L: 63.75" x 16.5"
    Leather seat portion: H: 13.5" x L: 36" x D: 16.5"
    Slatted surface section: H: 13.25" x L: 25.25" x D: 15.5".
