About this asset

This parametric wood bench for 3ds Max features an undulating, slatted form constructed from CNC-cut timber sections. The bench displays a complex, fluid geometry achieved through a series of vertical timber ribs spaced evenly along a central axis. Its sinuous, wave-like profile creates a continuous seating surface that rises and falls to form ergonomic contours. The construction relies on a layered assembly method, with visible through-rods and metal fasteners securing the individual wood slices at the end caps. The natural grain of the timber is highlighted by the rhythmic repetition of the slats, giving the piece a distinct, sculptural quality suitable for high-end contemporary interiors or public spaces.

The download is a 26.7 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model, set up with V-Ray materials. Open it in 3ds Max with V-Ray installed; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.

Since the object consists of many individual components, it is recommended to keep the mesh grouped or collapsed into a single editable poly for better scene performance. Applying high-quality wood textures with proper UV mapping on the rib faces will significantly enhance the realism of the final render, particularly when using global illumination to catch the shadows between slats.

This organic bench serves as a focal point in large-scale architectural projects, particularly within modern lobbies, retail atriums, or high-traffic public corridors. It pairs effectively with minimalist concrete or glass environments, providing a warm, tactile contrast to hard, industrial surfaces. Designers often search for this type of asset when specifying bespoke or sculptural furniture for commercial fit-outs, transit hubs, or open-plan office breakout zones where a statement piece is required to define the space and encourage informal seating.
