Group Affinity benches were originally developed by using recycled exhibition materials for the Group Affinity Summer School, which was held at Kunstverein Munich in 2011. You can find this classical structure of the V shaped legs in the south of Italy as well as throughout most of Latin America, the design allows a carpenter to use the maximum amount of one ply-wood sheet. Manuel Raeder redesigned them to fit together like a playful puzzle forming a square or occupying space like a game of Tetris. The handcrafted design of the Group Affinity benches was later adapted for a retail version specifically for NEW TENDENCY.
