About the Item

Bench, solid elm, fabric, Europe, 1960s This bench expresses a naturalistic and grounded character. Crafted by hand from solid elm, the piece features beautiful carved contours, honoring traditional woodworking techniques and adding an artisanal quality. A storage compartment beneath the seat provides space for things like blankets and cushions. The material plays the central role: elm’s expressive surface and organic texture create a dialogue between nature and craft. This approach, valuing integrity over ornament, embodies a quiet sophistication that celebrates the authenticity of the wood itself, much in the spirit of Franz Xaver Sproll's work.
