About the Item
French Mid-Century Painted Beechwood Bench, 1960s
A delightful expression of 1960s French design, this hand-painted bench is a vibrant, sculptural seating piece crafted in beechwood. Celebrated for its whimsical aesthetic and joyful palette, it embodies the playful spirit of post-war European decorative arts.
The bench features a distinctive wavy slat construction on both the seat and backrest, each hand-painted in bright, contrasting tones of pink, yellow, blue, orange, and red. The rhythmic pattern and dynamic colors lend a kinetic quality to the bench, making it as much an artistic statement as it is a functional seat.
Crafted in France circa 1960, the frame is constructed from solid beechwood—a hardwood favored for its strength and fine, even grain. The original polychrome paint remains beautifully intact with charming patina and minor wear consistent with age, adding to the authenticity of the piece. Angular legs, curved arms, and crossed stretchers add sculptural definition and enhance its stability.
Dimensions:
W 130 cm x D 52 cm x H 86 cm
Seat Height: 45 cm
Perfect for a hallway, children’s room, or as a statement accent in an eclectic interior, this bench exemplifies both folk charm and mid-century inventiveness. It offers a rare opportunity to own an original, joyful piece of French design history.
