Have your love by your side and look in the opposite direction with Jake Phipps’ Loveseat.

Painstakingly sculpted by Mr. Phipps from a solid block of cedar, Loveseat expands Michelangelo’s notion about the form trapped within from marble to wood, revealing a sinuous Yin/Yang form with the exacting elegance of an Inuit canoe.

The designer also has an answer for those who might shy away from the notion of contrapuntal orientation to one’s beloved: “With its complimentary principles of balance and unity, Loveseat lets a couple share a conversation, with their different perspectives providing a more complete outlook on the world around them.”
