Bench Cushion in Viso Jacquard
This boldly patterned cushion is a collaboration with lifestyle brand Viso Project. The fabric was woven by hand looms in North Carolina and sewn to fit the Stacked Bench. Adjust the leather straps to snugly fasten the cushion to the bench, or loosely keep it in place.

More than a bench
Inspired by the mobile, sturdy and versatile 19th-century campaign furniture made for travel and expeditions, designer Shawn Maximo developed the Stacking Bench for modern use as standalone seating, a low console or room dividing shelf. Leather straps bring luxurious detail while an optional cushion adds comfort.
