Onda
Made by WENTZ
Designed by Guilherme Wentz
The Onda bench originates from a single block of Brazilian granite, machined with precision to trace the suspended geometry of a wave caught between rest and motion. Guilherme Wentz, the São Paulo-based designer known for his dialogue between natural materials and sculptural form, treats the stone not as a surface but as a subject.
The curve that defines Onda is not decorative. It is structural and philosophical, capturing the exact balance point where a wave neither rises nor falls. The granite's inherent markings do the rest: dark passages that suggest depth, white veins that read as foam, a material already in conversation with the sea before the hand of the maker intervenes.

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.
