Description
This is a long, low bench made from 100% bamboo, with legs of natural cane, in a natural colour that shows the grain and markings of each stem. It is 75cm long, 150cm wide and 57cm tall, with a seat height of 44cm, and the maker rates it to carry up to 200KG. The seat is a flat run of bamboo slats held by cross pieces. At each end the frame rises into a low rail with short upright slats, so it sits somewhere between a bench and a daybed. Curved braces arch between the legs, and the joints are bound with neat wraps.
Its 150cm width gives a long seat for a hallway, where the 44cm seat height suits sitting down to pull on shoes. It also works along a living room wall or beneath a window, where the open frame keeps it looking lighter than an upholstered sofa. With a seat pad and cushions it becomes a place to curl up with a book; left bare, it holds baskets, folded throws or a stack of books. At 10KG it is easy to lift and move when you rearrange a room. It suits anyone who likes natural materials and a relaxed, lived-in look.
Bamboo is light for its strength, and the open frame lets you see how the piece is put together: the slats, the arched braces and the wrapped joints are all on show. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, we would lay a long seat pad on top and prop a few patterned cushions against one end rail, then add a throw over the other end. The styling props shown are not included, so the bench comes bare and the textiles are yours to choose.
