Size: 50” wide x 36” tall x 20” deep
Ipe wood and ceramic tile
2015
The bench is made entirely from Ipe, one of the hardest wood known and it is highly resistant to the elements. There are no screws or nails used to make it. All the joinery is mortise and tendon or drilled and pegged with Ipe dowels.
The inspiration for the back of the bench represents the circular patterns formed when a stone is dropped into standing water. Cut with precision and finished with fine sanding, the bench is sealed with Penofin. This piece of furniture is weather proof for outside use but will look elegant also inside the home. The art work is printed on ceramic tiles and are excerpts from Siona’s paintings. They serve as embellishments with bursts of color which compliments the Ipe wood
Presenting a collaboration of fine furniture and art, between Peter Tschudy and Siona Benjamin. Here is a line of furniture inspired by colonial India, Peter’s unique wood craftsmanship and design, mixed with Siona’s original artwork.

Let customers speak for us
I purchased two of Siona Benjamin’s gorgeous silk shawls for Christmas/birthday gifts. One depicted the beauty of the monsoon season and the other depicted the season of summer. The colors and artwork on both of the shawls were intricate and eye-catching! Siona’s artistry comes to life in her silken creations!!!!!
I love the Rachel shawl and the Luminosity yoga mat that I got from Bluelikeme. Siona’s work tells an interesting story of identity and a woman challenging societal norms that appeals to me. The colors and details are really meaningful! Happy with my purchase!
The colors, the silk, the art—it all comes together so beautifully.
Siona's designs are simply incredible. This scarf is unlike anything I’ve owned before!
Siona Benjamin’s scarves are a statement of conversation whenever I wear them. Their bright, bold colors, silky feel and texture, and magnificent artwork by Siona are filled with story and folklore. Whenever I wear the scarves, they are always a topic of conversation and inquisitiveness. I always feel like I’m wearing a piece of her artwork and feel unique and special.
I love it!! I admire your art so much and love the art on the silk! I treasure it! Thank you so much.
The shawls from Siona are beautiful. Everything about them—the colors, the silk, and the way they lay around your neck—and the designs are lovely. I enjoy giving them as gifts, everyone loves them.
The shawl I received is even more stunning in person. The attention to detail is remarkable!
Siona is a truly unique and talented artist. My husband and I have a painting of hers in our home, and I have purchased her elegant, beautiful scarves as gifts—but then had to keep one for myself—I love it!
The shawl I got from Siona is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are deep and rich, and the design is completely unique! I look forward to wearing it on New Year’s Eve with a black outfit to show it off.
I am absolutely in love with my scarf featuring the stunning artwork of Siona Benjamin. The vibrant colors and intricate designs are nothing short of breathtaking—truly a wearable masterpiece. The high-quality silk feels luxurious and elevates any outfit, making it perfect for special occasions or adding a touch of elegance to everyday wear. Every time I wear it, it sparks conversations about the rich multicultural influences behind the design. It’s not just a scarf; it’s a celebration of art, culture, and individuality. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates beauty and craftsmanship.
Siona’s art tells a story, and I feel honored to wear a piece of it.
