ACAI BENCH
Acai Bench
This Acai Bench is made of California Sycamore and is 9 feet long and up to 36 inches wides. The base is custom designed, constructed from steel, and powder coated with a matte black finish. This bench was commissioned by Bare Bowls in Palo Alto, CA.
Sycamore trees, also called plane trees, are among the most common shade trees planted in the United States and Europe. Our native plane tree, Platanus racemosa, is a unique individual in the sycamore family. Found only in this region of the country, it is a historic component of the California landscape of streamsides, rocky canyons, moist valleys, and arid foothills.
The tree reflects California’s wild nature with its unpredictable growth, contorted and low spreading branches or leaning trunk (s). Always graceful, the tree grows very fast with a height reaching 30 – 80 feet tall. The canopy spread can be 20-50 feet wide, and a massive trunk is built in the process. These trees can have a very long life span, with horticulturalists documenting some specimens living up to 400 years.
