Story
A bench within Betwixt
Studioilse developed Betwixt around seating that could move between different kinds of environments. The bench extends that idea to two people while keeping the family's steel frame and material choices.
A distinct frame
Herman Miller describes the design through strong lines: larger rear legs and crossbars anchor the frame, while slimmer tubular rods bend continuously into the arms and front legs.
