Futuristic bench carved out of a tree log is proof that with enough creativity (and an axe), even a dead tree can have a new life.

Log Chop Bench created by The Practice of Everyday Design, transforms a reclaimed log into a functional art sculpture.

Carved into the log are three angular recesses, each housing a bright red, geometrically patterned seat.

The seats are upholstered with precision, their sharp, origami-like design contrasting starkly with the coarse log.

Bold red color pops against painted white tones of the wood, making the Log Chop Bench feel both inviting and dramatic.

The base of the bench is a massive, raw log with a roughly chopped surface, giving it a natural, unfinished appearance that celebrates its origin.

Professional Lumberjill carved three seat recesses into the log using an axe.

Rugged cuts are juxtaposed with luxurious, hand-sewn red upholstery crafted by a motorcycle saddle maker, offering both comfort and sophistication.

Sourced from Toronto’s tree graveyard, the Log Chop Bench embraces design to form a sculptural dialogue between nature and street furniture.

Toronto’s Parks and Recreation provided the tree log. A Lumberjill brought the muscle. Designers brought the attitude to create the Log Chop Bench.
