Sheep bench chair / Muhammad Harraz Mohamad Fauzi

This project explores the design of a bench chair inspired by the natural form and attributes of sheep. Drawing from the soft, organic shapes of sheep and their symbolic connection to comfort, warmth, and pastoral landscapes, the design integrates elements of nature into functional furniture. The bench chair incorporates gentle curves that mimic the silhouette of a sheep’s body, creating a sense of fluidity and calmness. The texture and materiality take inspiration from sheep’s wool, with soft, plush upholstery that evokes warmth and tactile comfort. The framework of the bench chair references the sturdy yet graceful movement of sheep, utilizing a combination of wood and metal to ensure durability while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. The interplay of natural materials highlights sustainability and reflects the harmonious relationship between the natural world and human living spaces. This design not only serves as functional seating but also as a statement piece that brings a touch of the pastoral environment into modern interiors. By translating the attributes of sheep into design element softness, approachability, and resilience the bench chair offers both visual and sensory comfort, bridging the gap between nature and human spaces. The result is a furniture piece that celebrates simplicity, sustainability, and the beauty of natural inspiration.
