Custom Large Chinese Limestone Doon Bench

This simply designed doon bench from China's Shanxi province is carved by hand from a single block of limestone. With a strong, low profile and subtle stepped spandrels, the bench honors the balanced proportions and minimal forms characteristic of Ming-dynasty design. As much an architectural element as it is a piece of furniture, the bench continues a long Chinese tradition of stone furniture, valued for its rich texture and inherent permanence. The timeless form sits just as beautifully outdoors as a sculptural bench as it does in modern interiors as a striking coffee table. Bench is made to order and can be made to custom dimensions. Lead time is 6-12 months.
