Benches

A bench is one of the most versatile pieces in a room and one of the most overlooked. It works at the foot of a bed, as extra dining seating, at an entryway, or anchoring a living room arrangement. The ones here span the range of what a bench can be.

Ribbed leather loveseats that read as benches in a formal context. Dark sheesham wood benches with solid plank construction. Leather benches with metal frames — clean lines, low profiles, functional in spaces where an upholstered chair would crowd things. Some have storage beneath. Most don’t.

The leather pieces come primarily from India, where the same workshops producing arm chairs and sofas also run bench production. The wood pieces reflect a different supply chain — solid hardwood, hand-finished, from workshops in Southeast Asia where bench-making is a distinct craft from upholstery work.

Dimensions vary by piece. If bench length is critical for your space, bring measurements when you visit — floor pieces can be measured directly.
