Designer timber bench to test your Yin & Yang

Noted luggage brand Louis Vuitton has dabbled into the realm of furniture design with a Yin & Yang monogram wooden bench that will sell for a startling US$13,500 (almost $21,000). Source: Timberbiz

The bench is totally made of wood, but the type of wood was unspecified, and the description merely refers to a pure light toned wood sanded to perfection. The seat is adorned with the Louis Vuitton logo and an unmissable Yin & Yang symbol.

The piece is available from justinreed.com and the website also features a wooden skateboard of maple wood engraved with the Louis Vuitton logo. Compared with the bench it’s a steal at just US$3000 (approx. $4500).
