Overlapp is a bench designed by Swedish architecture studio TAF for Fritz Hansen, its name and structural identity derived from the characteristic overlapping steel leg construction that defines the series. The legs cross and overlap at the midpoint of the bench's underside, creating a structural expression that is simultaneously visually distinctive and functionally sound — a detail that communicates the design's logic clearly without requiring further explanation.
The combination of powder-coated steel legs and rustic wooden planks gives the Overlapp a material contrast that balances industrial precision with natural warmth. This pairing is consistent across the TAF-designed series and gives the bench a contemporary character that works as well in outdoor and semi-outdoor settings as in interior contexts. The design is available for both indoor and outdoor use.
The Overlapp bench is well suited to entrance halls, reception areas, garden spaces, covered terraces, and public interior environments where a simple, durable bench of genuine design quality is required. Its distinctive structural expression makes it a considered specification choice for settings where the design of individual furniture pieces contributes to the overall spatial concept.
The TAF-designed series maintains a consistent aesthetic across its full range of pieces, making the Overlapp bench an effective component in a broader coordinated furniture scheme.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
