These original and rare high back seatings strike us with their sculptural shape and visible gilded metal screws -both on the seat and on the sides- that add an industrial touch to their wonderful post-modernist and brutalist style. The benches feature a comfortable deeply carved rectangular paneled back, the geometric sculptural shape of the sides is simply amazing it spreads downwards in a single block of solid thick wood up to the feet in a perfect example of high quality handcrafted European furniture. The beautiful wood grain with its honey color makes these banquettes even more desirable. The convenient size and shape and the beautiful color make these benches easy to place and practical to use in all kinds of interiors and spaces both inside or outside your home.

In pair they will look fantastic alongside your dining table or in the kitchenette to place in your breakfast area perhaps with some nice pillows or big cushions!
