Spontaneous Design
This Log Chop Bench is a one-off piece defined by one very unconventional process (to say the least). Designers David Long & Antoine Morris avoided concrete blueprints & lent their ax, log, & minimal sketches to a professional Lumberjill (you heard me) who carved out seat spaces with surgical precision. The rough hollows were then clad in fine, hand-sewn upholstery by a motorcycle saddle maker. A little unorthodox, but pretty damn sexy.
The bench was recently auctioned at the Stellar Living 2011 Contemporary Art & Design Auction for Mercer Union in Toronto, Ontario.
Designers: David Long & Antoine Morris

Wow, that is cool. I love the final product, not to mention the design and production process! Those seats are probably really comfortable given that they are hand stitched motorcycle grade artistry. Really sweet and a lot of hard work. Thanks for the post!

Really really awesome, great job. Would be awesome to see more variations. This would be cool in a lumber jack office waiting room, for when you are waiting for your appointment with the lumber jack.

This is an amazing design. Just imagine, that log on wheels rolling down the highway at just 55 miles per hour. Better yet, I wouldn’t mind logging a few hundred hours in that setup…
Good stuff (and good luck), I appreciate the community feedback Mr. Troy Turner.

Wow. What a waste of an old-growth log.
susan says
exactly what I was thinking. It is nice, but not as useful as a big log like that potentially could be.

Really unexpected, but very cool. The final product is a great mashup of clean geometric and rustic organic. Wicked.

I would prefer it without the whitewash over the wood, would be a much nicer contrast if they just treated the wood and left it it's natural colour.
