Frequently Asked Questions

What type of granite is used in the Onda bench?

The Onda bench is carved from Brazilian granite, chosen for its characteristic dark ground and white veining that naturally evoke the contrast between deep water and sea foam. The specific slab selection varies, making each piece subtly unique.

Is the Onda bench made to order?

Yes, the Onda bench is produced to order. Because it is carved from a single granite block, lead times and exact stone patterning should be confirmed at the time of inquiry.

Who is designer Guilherme Wentz?

Guilherme Wentz is a Brazilian designer based in São Paulo whose practice centers on the expressive potential of natural materials, particularly stone and wood. His work bridges product design and sculpture, with pieces collected by design institutions and private collectors internationally.

Can the Onda be used as a coffee table as well as a bench?

The Onda's proportions and sculptural curved surface allow it to function as either a bench or a low table, depending on context. Its identity as an object is more important than any single functional category.

How should granite furniture like the Onda be maintained?

Granite is durable but porous. Periodic sealing is recommended to protect against staining, and spills should be wiped promptly. Avoid acidic cleaners, which can dull the stone's finish over time.
