Oak Bench with Mortise and Tenon Joinery, Europe ca 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the past year, seating benches have become a popular choice in home décor. Of course, these benches’ primary purpose is to provide a convenient and comfortable place to sit. However, a bench, such as this beautiful wooden model, can also be used as an interior decorative element.
All major interior design companies have released their own bench models, but it is hard to live up to the wooden pieces created in the mid-century. This oak bench is dominated by two elements: its material and the master joinery techniques. Without a doubt, the mortise and tenon...

John Vesey Aluminum and Walnut Folding Directoire Bench, circa 1958
By John Vesey
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Such an incredible rare example of precision design of the 1950s, by John Vesey Inc, this aluminum Classic Folding Bench in the Directoire style is in high-demand and sought after by collectors, interior designers and fine art galleries for very good reasons.
The quality and precision craftsmanship of this foldable bench is simply incredible. Use it as a bench, stool, chair, and then fold it up, stow it away or take with you. It's size allows you to use it in smaller rooms and stow away in smaller closets or place it aside alongside a wall in a room.
And the look and style of this piece is unmatchable. Such luxurious high-end design, excellent candidate for the designer who has a discriminating client who wants the best of the best.
This elegant aluminium folding bench by John Vesey would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a side chair, dining, cafe or breakfast table bench, bedside chair, fireside stool...

Handmade Modern Minimal Cut Stool White Oak
By Figure Ground, BDDW, George Nelson, George Nakashima
Located in Brooklyn, NY
With this stool, we wanted to push the limits of structure both in physics and aesthetics.
The stool is sawn from a single long hand-selected board and carefully milled with a miter joint detail that cascades from the seat down through the legs. This stool spans 18" without any central beam or joint, which would typically carry such a load and further include a slight gap right down the center. To further accentuate this void of support, we used cruciform 'butterfly' joints whimsically placed to 'tie' the stool together on the legs. This detail is an exploration of the differnt keys we are looking to create.
To further accentuate the stools' slender span, we chose a double miter cut on the edge profile that almost makes the Bench's thickness at first glance disappear. The subtle interplay of each of these aesthetic dynamics produces a unique piece celebrating historical reference as much as structural ingenuity.
This item is available in custom sizes or finishes upon request. Due to the natural materials used, the object received will be unique in material figuring and coloration.
No Item assembly or installation is necessary. Care for the object is minimal and can be conditioned every 2 years to maintain the original finish wtih Monocoat Products.
All of our pieces are originally designed and handmade in the Brooklyn, NY based Figure+Ground studio, we don't believe in the separation of design and fabrication. Each item is handcrafted, serialized, and shipped with a “Certificate of Authenticity”, documenting its place in history. Own an Original Figure+Ground Piece...

Walnut Butterfly Joinery Gallery Handmade Modern Minimal Bench
By George Nakashima, BDDW, George Nelson, Figure Ground
Located in Brooklyn, NY
With this bench, we wanted to push the limits of structure both in physics and aesthetics.
The bench was sawn from a single long hand-selected board and carefully milled with a miter joint detail that cascades or 'waterfalls' a continuous grain from the seat down through the legs. This bench spans 6' without any central beam, which would typically carry such a load and further include a slight gap right down the center. To further accentuate this void of support, we used straight 'butterfly' joints whimsically placed to 'tie' the Bench together. This detail is a nod to our love and respect for George Nakashima's furniture.
