Notting Hill

In Roger Michell’s film, the bench plays a pivotal role in the unfolding of events, transforming from a seemingly functional object into a silent witness to emotions, choices, and thoughts. The Notting Hill Bench embodies a classic memory, an accessory that enhances the overall composition of a space with its aristocratic and universal presence—an element that stands out both by day and by night. Defined by essential torus-shaped sections, the bench acts as a bridge-like structure, composed of a slender top—an extruded form with short sides that expose and highlight the solid wood core at its ends—and two sculpted pillar-shaped legs, which establish a perfect balance of volumes. The leather upholstery wraps around and completes the structure like a delicate mantle, adding the final touch of refined exclusivity. This material detail conveys an intimate sense of familiarity, further enriched by the plush seat cushion. The Notting Hill Bench is a statement of precision, balance, and materiality, offering an effortlessly elegant and timeless presence.
