Soft Bench is a minimal bench created by New York City-based designer Gregory Beson for Love House. “TENDERNESS,” the New York-based designer and sculptor’s first solo exhibition of work in wood, clay, glass, precious metal, and fiber, is being presented by Love House. Beson’s practice emphasizes community, which is fostered through partnerships with artists and artisans from many fields. The Brooklyn bookstore Dear Friend Beson, for which Kellan Tucker of Sharktooth provided the textiles, sound by Nelly Kate, and spoken word by Anna Sergeeva, will be in discussion with his work at the opening of the show at Love House.
