Homesick Fly bench

The Homesick fly bench is a piece of furniture designed for different environments. 
  

Thanks to its comfort and size, several people can sit on it. It may thus be used in exhibition or meeting rooms. The atmosphere created by the warm lights near the floor and the suspension effect of the plexiglass supports also make it suitable for more intimate places, such as private homes.
The hardwood top, together with the white poplar plywood base, provides a pleasant feeling of naturalness and candor that makes relaxing really easy. 
  

The base is made of lacquered poplar plywood, while the floor supports are plexiglass. The hardwood top is treated with natural oils. A switch controls the neon lights hidden underneath the bench.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Product history

On a hot and humid day, a fly flew into my car. At first I did not notice it, but after it started annoying me, I tried to kill it in every possible way. Since I could not kill the fly, and it was not safe to keep driving without concentrating, I decided to stop and let it out. I parked the car near the shore of a lake.
It was a wonderful day: the sun was warm and the previous night’s rain had cleared the sky. As I opened the door, I felt the light and the clean air come into my car. I got out to enjoy the place and the day.
  
The fly seemed to be feeling as happy as me. It flew quickly over the beach, dived towards the water, then suddenly veered to avoid it. It then started swerving among the tree branches and drawing circles in the air. I watched it in amazement. 
  

After about twenty minutes, the fly began to slow down and, soon afterwards, it stopped to watch the lake, just as if it had been struck by melancholy. I wondered what could make a fly melancholic. Could it be some kind of sickness for places, friends, or family? Does a fly actually have a family? Finally, it flew towards my car again. 
 
When I opened the car door, it got back in, so I decided to take it back to the place it came from. On the way home, the fly kept quiet and never disturbed me again.
