Inspired by William Hogarth's 1753 treatise "The Analysis of Beauty," this project was a collaborative effort between Vertico, designers Kiki Van Eijk and Joost Van Bleiswijk of Kiki & Joost, and construction company Heilijgers. Over ten benches were produced, with four now gracing the museum grounds..

This unique piece embodies Hogarth's concept of the "line of beauty" - a serpentine curve that represents liveliness and activity.

The town of Laren, known for its vibrant artistic community, provided the perfect backdrop for this innovative design. 'The Beauty of line and Grace' bench is a continuous, 3D-printed concrete line that mimics the fluid motion of an artist's sketch. This "line of beauty" pays homage to the area's creative spirit and the museum's distinctive character.Seamlessly blending aesthetics and function, the serpentine bench harmonizes with the museum's surroundings. Its flowing form serves as both a visual element and a comfortable seating area.

Drawing inspiration from an artist's signature, these benches aim to become a recognizable feature of the Singer Laren Museum. The bench's popularity extended beyond the museum, becoming a crowd favorite when showcased at Dutch Design Week 2023.Vertico's Line of Beauty bench exemplifies the fusion of historical artistic concepts with cutting-edge 3D printing technology, resulting in a functional sculpture that celebrates creativity and innovation
