Designed Around Contrast

The Tillikum Bench explores the relationship between visual mass and transparency.

A solid Black Walnut seat is suspended on polished clear acrylic supports, creating the impression that the bench is floating within a space. The result is a restrained architectural object that balances warmth, texture, and lightness.

Designed by Kirk Van Ludwig and handcrafted in Canada, the Tillikum Bench is suited to entryways, hallways, bedrooms, living spaces, and hospitality interiors where sculptural simplicity is desired without visual heaviness.

Each piece is made to order using sustainably sourced hardwood and finished in natural oil and wax to enhance grain depth, richness, and tactile character.
