Quarry, awarded the Seating: Benches Gold Award, was inspired by designer Bruce Sienkowski's desire to create a collaborative workspace that was also light and flexible. Sienkowski wanted to take a form from nature and simplify it, and a rock quarry fit his vision perfectly. The symmetrical shapes work well for seating, and by configuring the pieces, one can create spaces with very organic, natural feels. A distinct and intentional stitch line mimicking a rock fissure helps to further define the shape.
