Discover the Black Oak Bench with a Hand-Woven Cord Seat
Built around a frame of solid oak wood in a black finish, this 120 cm bench keeps its lines low and its presence quiet. The seat is a hand-weaved paper cord rope, twisted and stretched across the frame by hand so the surface flexes very slightly underfoot rather than staying rigid like a solid board. Because the piece is made of natural materials, every bench carries its own shades and veins beneath the dark finish, and no two panels read exactly alike. It is a design that rewards a second look, once you notice the grain moving under the colour.
The oak carries FSC 100% chain-of-custody certification and is sourced from a responsible forest management model, so the timber can be traced back through every stage of its journey. That matters for a bench, which is a piece you sit on daily and expect to keep for decades. Place it along a hallway wall as a spot to pull on boots, at the foot of a bed to hold folded linen, or as extra seating that slides under a dining table when the room needs its floor back. The bench is also available in other finishes if a paler oak suits your scheme better.
