Benko A-8133 Seat Mat Back Mat

The Benko A-8133 is a bent beech wood chair that draws inspiration from classic 19th-century furniture, retaining its lightness and elegance in a modern interpretation. Its slender construction and flowing lines of bent elements give the form a harmonious, timeless character.

The model is distinguished by the consistent use of cane weaving in both the seat and the backrest. Both elements feature precisely crafted Vienna caning in a mat form, which introduces lightness and a rhythmic structure to the piece. The uniform nature of the material emphasizes the aesthetic consistency of the design, while also ensuring comfort of use thanks to the flexibility and breathability of the surface.

Natural materials and refined details mean the chair fits perfectly into various settings – from home dining rooms to elegant restaurant and hotel interiors, bringing warmth and a subtle, artisanal expression to the space.

The project was designed by Tomek Rygalik / Studio Rygalik. The designer, known for skillfully combining simplicity and functionality, gave the form clarity and lightness, showing how contemporary design can develop classic inspirations.
