Minimalist Dutch Wenge Bench, The Netherlands ca 1970s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This understated, stylish bench is versatile in its simplicity. It can be used as a table, or, thanks to its very sturdy construction, can also easily be used as seating.

This bench is completely veneered in wenge hard wood, which also defines its overall visual impression. The honest use of materials, clear construction and lack of decoration define this bench. Clearly preoccupied with functionalism, the rectangular body has confidently straight lines with impeccable joinery. Due to its length, width and height dimensions, this bench can be used in different ways: as a bench in the hall, at the foot end of the bed or even as a coffee table. The main characteristics of modernism can be clearly observed in the design: clean, straight lines and a masterfully crafted structure. The large surface allows the versatile shades and patterns of the wood to stand out. The open front prevents the design from looking heavy and instead creates a stylish, modern look. The wenge wood is spectacular and the understated design allows it to truly stand out.

The timeless design and clear design language makes this bench a true classic. These characteristics make it able to fit in a minimalist modern decor just as well as in a more wabi-sabi inspired interior.
