CRAFT AND PRECISION — ARIAKE BENCH / SUMI ASH - TEXTILE STRAP

The Ariake Bench is designed by Gabriel Tan for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. Part of a cohesive family that includes a dining chair and armchair, the bench is made through a considered harmony of hand craftsmanship and advanced machining. Its form draws on both classical and contemporary joinery details — a dialogue between tradition and precision that is central to Ariake’s design philosophy. This version pairs a Sumi ash frame — ash treated with traditional Japanese Sumi charcoal finishing — with a woven textile strap seat, combining deep, smoky tones with tactile warmth and visual refinement.
