CUSTO
MISED
Specially created and made
to measure: for the lobby,
café and bar of the 25hours
Hotel in Zürich, designer
Werner Aisslinger and Rolf
Benz came up with the ex-
clusive “Bench” upholstered
furniture series. Aisslinger
drew his inspiration from
the leather gym mats of the
1970s. Just like the finely
aged mats of yesteryear, the
seat and back sections of
Bench are covered in sturdy
brown leather. They sit on a
lightweight metal frame and
have a casual, living-room-
like flair. Since Rolf Benz
produces every aspect of its
sofas in Germany, it was no
problem translating the de-
signer’s ideas into a perfectly
crafted piece of furniture.
