Banc rustique en teck et tronc d'arbre

A long, sturdy teak bench whose seat is a single thick, solid plank. The top has been roughly worked by hand, with undulating edges, a through knot and a lively grain: a true tree-trunk look. The plank rests on four splayed legs, which give this rustic bench a robust yet light appearance. The seat is an old plank of reclaimed teak. Design. We chose this bench for the wood itself: the irregular shape, the hand-worked undulations and the warm honey colour turn a simple bench into something almost sculptural. At 1.76 metres it is long enough for a dining table, yet narrow enough for a hallway. Condition. Good condition. The plank has the character of old, reclaimed wood: a natural through knot (hole) at one end, shrinkage cracks along the grain and in the end grain, old notches and a few filled or dark spots. The surface has deliberately been worked rough and undulating, so it is not flat. The legs are cleanly and smoothly finished and clearly younger than the plank. No woodworm. Please see the photos for details. Dimensions: length 176 cm, seat height 45 cm, plank depth approx. 20 cm, legs 31.4 cm apart at the bottom. In the interior. The bench suits a wabi-sabi, Japandi, country or Ibiza/boho interior. Use it as a dining bench, a hallway bench, at the foot of the bed or as a low plant table. The natural wood combines well with linen, rattan, clay and concrete.
