POH Bench

The POH bench, patchwork oval hemisphere, can also be used as a low table and consists of a patchwork of wooden pieces covered with solid natural American walnut. Every Poh bench is a unique object, sold as a numbered edition: in fact, the blocks of wood are manually assembled in a casual manner and then cut by a machine numerically, according to a model that is generated digitally by a computer. A table, a bench and a veritable sculpture: this piece has intentionally been left without a precise definition, in order to upend the premise, “form follows function” to “function follows form”.

POH was designed by Raphael Navot. Navot is dedicated to expressing his creativity on multiple fronts, and likes to describe himself as a versatile designer with a multidisciplinary approach to the field and to the design process. Among his primary collaborations are important names in the business such as: Venini, David Lynch, Tollman’s - Alessi, Molteni/Dada, Renault, Design Museum Holon, Swarovski, Hearts on Fire, Arthus Bertrand and Mudum. For Cappellini, he has created a hybrid piece that can be transformed according to the needs of whoever is using or experiencing it. In his POH table or bench, Raphael Navot expresses his love for creative paths that break free from definitions or divisive constraints.
