I’m not sure who Grigoris Themistokleous is nor when or how I came across this quote, but Grigoris said this about benches:
“In the realm of furniture, wooden benches stand as a testament to how craftsmanship seamlessly meets function. Wood, with its timeless appeal, lends itself beautifully to designs that are as much about aesthetics as they are about utility. Whether it’s the raw architectural might of the Brutalist style, the pared-down elegance of Minimalist design, or the balanced innovations inspired by Bauhaus, wooden benches effortlessly elevate livings spaces, making them both beautiful and practical.”
