Setting the Benchmark

Although Vintage Benches can come in numerous styles and shapes one thing that unifies them is a certain minimal cool, industrial chic and rustic simplicity. At quintessential duckeggBLUE we adore them for these reasons and maybe a few more…

Like many covetable design pieces for the home, Vintage Benches are extremely versatile. So whilst being perfect as seating around long kitchen and dining tables, they are also great in hallways, mudrooms and verandahs.

Vintage Benches immediately bring to mind large congregations of people and we have reclaimed pieces that once lived in church halls, sports grounds, theaters, pubs, railway stations and the list goes on! This also naturally makes them perfect for seating in commercial spaces such as restaurants and bars.

Depending on the history of the piece they can be highly decorative like church pews and or wonderfully industrial like railway benches and platform seats.

We also love them as tables in surprising passages of the house or as interchangeable surfaces for both seating and shelving in bedrooms, hallways and bathrooms.

But perhaps the reason we’ve been thinking about Vintage Benches lately is that summer and the festive season is nearly here and benches make for fabulous entertaining!

There is a jovial and celebratory feel in using Vintage benches…the longer the table the better!
