Simple, modern, and a touch playful, the Plank Bench (2018) is an inviting addition to an outdoor patio, deck, garden, or yard. The wide horizontal planks that form the backrest can hold anything from a glass of wine or a book to a portable lantern as daylight fades. The bench was designed by Paris-born, Copenhagen-based designer Aurelien Barbry, whose elegant, expressive designs often encourage interaction. Crafted from solid teak, the bench will develop a soft-gray patina if left to age naturally outdoors. Made in Vietnam.
