Bench design by Jennifer Turner - Turner Interior Design
This project brief was for a bespoke feature bench design to an open plan kitchen / living space for an existing house in Scarborough, Western Australia. The brief was to design a feature that will become the focus when entering the space. This resulted in some feature cladding to an existing island bench.
The design used solid oak battens on two pac painted MDF board where a pattern was created to proportionally work with the scale of the bench and created a visual point of difference when entering the space.
