Designed by Swedish design duo, Fulo, Bits is a bench encased in a type of fabric made of hundreds of small triangles of birch plywood. Although the faceted ‘upholstery’ looks hard on the surface, it is padded and therefore feels soft when sat on. Bits also comes with a bolster that can be adjusted along the bench based on a person’s seating mannerism, and also works as a lounge bench.
