The classic workhorse bench gets a modernist makeover in forged steel with an inky matte-black finish. Adam Mono from designer Toke Lauridsen stands handsomely on its own in an entry or hallway or can be pared with a standard-height dining table or desk. The striking addition from Copenhagen’s Frama also serves as versatile seating as well as an ancillary task surface or display spot in both living areas and workspaces.
