Indigo Endai Bench
Lola Lely Studio
£2,150
Endai Bench in Indigo by Lola Lely is inspired by the traditional benches often positioned outside old Japanese houses and temples.
Indigo Endai Bench by furniture maker Lola Lely. A modern interpretation of an 'Endai', which means 'bench' in Japanese. A typical 'Endai' is constructed from solid wood, using dowels as a means of joinery. From the late Edo period onwards, while the Japanese would traditionally sat on tatami-padded floors while inside the house, they would use an endai outside.

Process
This piece was quarter sawn and planed from solid douglas fir naturally dyed with indidgo, and finished with linseed oil to give a low-sheen surface. The seat cushion is made from a patchwork of natural dyed cloth, with the artists' signature and date is embroidered with silk thread on the underside of the seat cushion.
