The Silva Bench is part of the Silva Collection, a series of woven outdoor furniture, drawing inspiration from untreated and minimally processed raw furniture crafted with coppiced hazel and natural hardwood. The weaving is made from split hazel weavers, traditionally used in the endangered craft of hazel basket making. The technique has been reimagined for a new purpose, transforming it into seating for contemporary furniture, which has never been done before. The Silva Collection combines traditional garden furniture aesthetics with the eco conscious ethos of greenwood working to create a stool, a bench and a chair.
