Made from solid oak, the Storia Konstruktio Bench is defined by its light-weight appearance; with the gap between the seat and back-rest allowing for the body to comfortably mould into the space. This linear piece can stand at the end of a bed accessorized with soft furnishings, or provide additional seating in a hallway or dining space. Made from sustainably sourced wood in Finland, the bench has been crafted to last a lifetime, working in environments both classic and contemporary.
