The Yardley Bench from Alder & Ore has a long, narrow upholstered seat supported by a hand-forged metal frame with arm-height rails at either end, the hammered texture of the metal giving the piece a crafted, artisanal quality. Made using a combination of stainless steel, foam, and fabric, the bench’s padded seat rests directly on the frame without additional structure, keeping the design open and light beneath. The metal arms rise just above the seat level, framing the bench without enclosing it.
