Bench by Jacob Kieland Brandt for Christiansen Denmark

This pine bench by Jacob Kieland Brandt reflects the clarity and structural honesty of mid-century Danish design. Created in the 1960s and produced by I. Christiansen, the piece balances architectural simplicity with robust craftsmanship. Constructed in solid pine, the bench features a long, slightly tapered backrest supported by three angular uprights. The seat plank runs uninterrupted across the length, resting on slender, outward angled legs that provide stability while maintaining visual lightness. The visible grain and natural knots enhance the material presence, giving the bench warmth and character. The design is defined by proportion and restraint rather than ornament. Its elongated silhouette and honest construction make it suitable for both domestic and gallery environments, where material integrity and form are central. About the Designer.
