Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home is a kitchen bench that pulls out, a piece of furniture inspired by the classic, old-fashioned wall bench. The bench is made of varnished ashwood and powder-painted aluminium. The title ‘Home Sweet Home’ reflects a nostalgic look at the simple country life of the past, when people slept and worked in the same place, and when life did not present as many choices as it does now. The needs that the wall bench met then – a seat for shared meals and conversations as well as a bed for the night – are still present today. In this context, Jessica Svensson says about the product, “Our lifestyle looks different today, and many people have turned their home into a showroom, expressing who they are – or would like to be. The purpose of this product was to incorporate history and work with the similarities in our needs across the ages. I have addressed past and present, material and function to suggest how the wall bench might find a place in a modern home, adapted to the contemporary demand for flexibility.” Home Sweet Home is available with the metal plate on either the right or the left side.
