About This Piece

Exceptional Contemporary Design

The Tax Bench is part of the Taxing Art project, which investigates how taxation affects creativity. This bench was designed with unique profiles that make a whole bench in kit form. This process creates a tax ambiguous object that is hard for tax authorities to define. The bench is mostly clear but due to its refractive properties, the bench seems clear, light blue, deep blue, or black depending on your perspective. It was commissioned by Swarovski for their 10th anniversary of Crystal Palace at Design Miami/Basel.


Eyal Burstein is a conceptual product designer investigating social behaviour and perception. Interested in self-censorship, morality, and its effects on creativity, Burstein makes objects that probe and emphasise our life choices.


Awarded, Designer of the Future by Design Miami, his work has been exhibited at MoMa, the Design Museum in London, the V&A, and he has published a book titled Taxing Art with Gestalten.


This piece weighs 150kg.
