The bench, with 92 brass legs, is made of an old mooring pole in Pomeranian pine. The wood is sanded and has a silky soft surface. The 92 legs are made of brass, finished by a short bent foot.
The bench appears as a functional sculpture. The heavy wooden body and the abundance of legs make it rests heavy and stable on the floor. When the bench is raised on the rear, the object is exposed significantly differently - the many legs look like soft spines on the back of an animal.

The body of the side table consists of a piece of eroded pine. This wood piece is one part of a larger block, which due to decay was divided into two parts during the move - out of it came two tables!
On the underside of the table are marked traces of erosion and decomposing processes. After years of drying, the table has been sanded and polished with a sanding fan and saturated with linseed oil. A process that restores and preserves the still healthy properties of the wood. The 23 legs of the side table are added to the body in a dynamic even pattern, leaving the side table with an expression that can be associated with an animal in motion.

The two pieces of wood that make up each tray are assembled in pairs and joined together by two oak rails. The wood comes from a sluice gate from Brede Værk. The sluice gate has acted as a regulator for the water flow from Mølledammen to Mølleåen, where the water has acted as an energy source for the watermills in Brede industrial plant (1798). The constant flow of fresh water through the cracks that have arisen over time in the sluice gate has shaped the wood through a slow erosion and given the wood a distinctive weathered expression. The wood has been dried for several years and sanded with a sanding fan to a fine and soft surface.

The name Crawling Bench comes from the fact that the trunk, seen from the rear, strangely resembles the buttocks of a crawling human being.
The processing of the wood has taken place in water and sea - and by drying out in the sun, which has both preserved the tree trunk and given it the characteristic silver-grey appearance.
