Vor

A wedding bench, cut from oak by the Vltava

Vor is a bench built for one couple and one place — oak logs from nearby groves, set by the Vltava under the trees. The form comes from bundled firewood and the lashing of a raft: four steel rods anchor it to the ground and hold it in metal frames, two fixed and two adjustable by nut, that clamp a prism of carefully fitted oak. The block seems to float just above the ground. A steel strip carries a dedication to the Dvořák couple, whose wedding bench this is.
