From the humble locker room style wooden bench to a chunky industrial bench or a very elegant gold or silver legged velvet upholstered bench, this humble piece of furniture has been having a Renaissance. This is especially true for Scandinavian raw wood designs.

The bench is the simplest form of furniture imaginable. However, in its simplicity, a bench can transform the look of a space in many ways. There are benches that are designed to serve as seats, others as tables while others as simple resting beds. With so many possible uses, a bench can be integrated within every area of the house right from the entry to the bedroom. This Scandinavian pine bench is quite minimalistic in its design. The look rests on the trestle legs both in a figurative and literal sense. The triangle-shape is completed by the stretchers between the legs, which is, in its origin, a purely functional feature. Here, it adds an appealing visual element as well. A bench like this also has the advantage of creating a low focal point and consequently, make a small space look larger and less interrupted.

The joinery is very simple and effective, meant to last lifetimes. The raw pine wood is very rustic and the perfect canvas for additional pillows or cushions. The marks add personality to this bench and testify to its historic value. The Scandinavian design principles of uncluttered, honest design guide this bench, therefore it is a timeless piece suited for any interior.
