Nailed seating furniture with three connecting restrictions: a) it is a bench; b) all furniture is made of the same type of boards; c) it uses hammer and nail as joinery technique. We are 13 participants in our class and will work on furniture in groups of two students each, one group of three students. Thus there will be a total of 6 benches.

Each group will have 8 boards (2,4 x 12 x 250 cm) and nails at their disposal. The boards are sawn wood, thus they are not smooth (planed or sanded). To have an idea of the available amount of wood; those 10 boards would be sufficent to build one Tavolo Rettangolare by Enzo Mari (see constructions with nails). You don't have to use all the wood; any excess wood could be used for other future projects.

For general measurements related to the human body,see average as measurement.
