The Bench from Aged Timber No. 396 is a beautifully crafted piece that combines rustic charm with practical design, making it an ideal addition to various environments, from cozy homes to chic cafes. This bench, referred to as a “bank” in the warmian dialect, is constructed from old, reclaimed wood that has retained its original hand-hewn surface. The rich color of the wood reflects decades of history, shaped by countless sunny days, torrential rains, and winters long forgotten.
Measuring 150 cm in width, 45 cm in depth, and standing 40 cm high, this bench features a straightforward yet solid form that enhances its functionality. We take pride in our craftsmanship, embracing a philosophy of preservation with our four emphatic “NOs” and four affirmatives of care:
- 4 times NO: We do not cut. We do not destroy. We do not sand. We do not artificially age.
- 4 times O: We recover. We save. We clean. We nurture.
The wood used in our furniture has lived for at least a century, and the surfaces of our pieces reveal the story of their craftsmanship, marked by the tools of old, showcasing a century of patina and the life breathed into them by generations close to nature. With each piece, you can feel the expertise of lumberjacks and carpenters, the warmth of the sun, and the freshness of the wind, along with traces of life from wooden homes.
How many trees have we cut down to create this furniture? Zero.
In terms of maintenance, our benches are protected by multiple layers of high-quality natural oil-wax, which creates a protective barrier against wear, dirt, moisture, and stains, ensuring that your furniture remains both beautiful and resilient over time.
