Everyday Life Bench is a multifunctional, modern bench that stands out for its sartorial design, which is shared by all the furnishings in Paul Smith’s collection; a signature style that characterises objects with visible seams and contrasting colours. The ash frame with a charcoal stain is simple, with a multi-layered panel upholstered in a thin layer of expanded polyurethane covered in leather and contrast piping, making this bench as comfortable as a padded chair.
