Turned wooden bench and straw - 1950s

A touch of authenticity and captivating bohemian style for this old asymmetrical wooden and straw bench. A unique and rare vintage seat. This old bench will bring a rustic design to your interior, once used as furniture near the fireplace. This model stands out for its brutalist appearance and marked artisanal craftsmanship. The robust structure is made of solid turned wood with its original dark patina. The seat is generously strawed, offering a very contemporary and sublime contrast of textures. Its asymmetrical backrest on one side gives it a unique sculptural silhouette. It features two lower rungs that serve as footrests or structural supports. From the 1940s-50s, this bench remains in beautiful vintage condition. The structure is stable and the straw is well preserved, reflecting quality craftsmanship. Some signs of wear and insect holes in the wood add to its charm and history. Seat height 42cm. We love to envision it in an entryway for putting on shoes, at the end of a bed, or repurposed as a designer magazine holder in a bohemian chic or wabi-sabi styled living room.
