The Raiment Bench

Most upholstered furniture is essentially furniture under stress — fabric stretched, stapled, and pulled taut over rigid frames. A question of control, and one Danish designer Lærke Ryom decided to refuse entirely.

Compact and considered, the bench carries the same quilted wool surface and twill weave edge banding found throughout the collection — details that reward a closer look. The edge banding in particular is worth pausing on: twill weave is a technique drawn from the world of clothing and home textiles, not furniture. It's a quiet reminder that the most enduring objects borrow from unexpected places.
