Minimalist Dutch Wenge Benches, The Netherlands ca 1970s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This understated, stylish pair of benches are versatile in their simplicity. They can be used as tables, or, thanks to their very sturdy constructions, can also easily be used as seating.

These benches are completely veneered in wenge hard wood, which also defines their overall visual impression. The honest use of materials, clear construction and lack of decoration define this pair. Clearly preoccupied with functionalism, the rectangular bodies have confidently straight lines with impeccable joinery. Due to their length, width and height dimensions, these benches can be used in different ways; as benches in the hall or at the foot end of the bed or even as a coffee table. The main characteristics of modernism can be clearly observed in the design: clean, straight lines and a masterfully crafted structure. The large surfaces allow the versatile shades and patterns of the wood to stand out. The open fronts prevent the design from looking heavy and instead create a stylish, modern look. The wenge wood is spectacular and the understated design allows it to truly stand out.

The timeless design and clear design language makes this pair of benches a true classic. These characteristics make them able to fit in a minimalist modern decor just as well as in a more wabi-sabi Axel Vervoordt inspired interior.
