TAU Bench by Arn & Salum Design Studio: A Sculptural Seat Between Design and Art
The TAU Bench, crafted by Arn & Salum Design Studio, is a sculptural piece with a curved form, upholstered in natural leather or suede, complemented by solid wood ends. This creation is referred to as a 'habitable sculpture', encouraging both reflection and engagement. In 2025, it was presented at CASA FOA 2025 – Academia Village Edition in Córdoba, designed by Martín Enricci, where it functioned as a focal point in a reading area. The following year, Mariano Ferrero included TAU in a maximalist Atelier at Casa FOA Córdoba. It was awarded the Sello de Buen Diseño Argentino for its exceptional quality. Arn & Salum, under the leadership of Elisabet Arn and Daniel Salum, specialize in strategic design to convey brand identity.
