Hopper bench

© Design by Dirk Wynants for Extremis for Extremis, 2010

At first glance, Hopper bench looks like it might tip over. It won't. Its striking slanted legs can be securely anchored to the ground, making it a natural fit for parks and semi-public spaces. In a garden or on a terrace, that same unusual silhouette turns a practical bench into a real design statement.

One bench. Two ways to use it.

Hopper bench does more than offer a place to sit. Face forward and the slanted upper surface becomes a comfortable backrest. Turn around and it becomes a narrow tabletop for your coffee, laptop or lunch. One bench, two ways to use it, and a shape you won't easily forget.
