The remaining inbuilt furniture pieces are similarly composed of plywood, designed with simplicity and unencumbered by conventional detailing. A bench, five meters in length, is supported by wood elements that have been recycled from previous furnishings found in the apartment. It accommodates all positions, from sitting to lounging, and also provides added bedding when required.
A custom dining table consists of two marble remnants, one oval and one square, supported by unadorned reinforcement steel (rebar). Its hybrid form serves multiple roles within the apartment and is used for both work and pleasure, accommodating up to four people.
