Simply Lines

The Simply Lines bench and shelter were inspired by an old, metal water spigot, specifically the lines of the handle around the connection point. The curved lines from the connection point and turn handle created a rhythmic repeating pattern. The curved and repeating lines are combined with a quote by Lori Dennis, “I like to keep things simple and natural. I love simple elegance.” In the bench back and seating you can see rhythm by repetition of triangular shapes and equally spaced lines. On the shelter you can also seen rhythm by the repetition and progression of the blocks. In both pieces there is unity in line and the use of positive and negative space. The materials used for the bench and shelter are metal reflecting the original nature of the metal water spigot. The shape and repetition keep this piece Simply Lines.
