Italian Modernist Teak and Leather Bench by Inge and Luciano Rubino
$9,800.00Bench designed by Inge and Luciano Rubino in 1964 for Apec Italy. Of the few pieces of furniture the Danish/Italian couple designed, this bench is the most iconic and coveted.

The teakwood (largely employed in Danish/Scandinavian design) coupled with the form of the piece (which is aesthetically Italian Modernist) yields a perfect marriage reflecting each respective designer’s background.
