Cutter Bench
Best minimalist seating for design-conscious outdoor living spaces.
The Cutter Bench by Fritz Hansen embodies the clean lines and simplicity inspired by the German Bauhaus movement. Originally designed for an exhibition, its seat features slender lines layered across a larger angular plank. Crafted from premium, FSC-certified teak wood, this bench is built for exceptional durability. Left untreated, the teak naturally deepens in color over time, developing a signature gray patina. The teak version is suitable for outdoor use, while Black Oak and standard Oak options are also available. Production time is estimated at 4-6 weeks as this is a made-to-order piece.

Know before you buy
Yes, the teak version is specifically designed for outdoor use. Because it is crafted from untreated, high-quality teak, it is naturally resistant to the elements.
Over time, the untreated teak will naturally transition from its original golden-brown hue to a signature silver-gray patina. This is a natural characteristic of the wood and does not affect the structural integrity of the bench.
No, the Black Oak and standard Oak versions are intended for indoor use only. Only the teak variant is recommended for outdoor environments.
If you prefer to maintain the original color of the teak, you can apply a teak oil periodically. If you prefer the natural gray patina, no maintenance is required other than occasional cleaning with mild soap and water.
The Cutter Bench is typically delivered as a finished piece, but please check your specific delivery details upon arrival. As a made-to-order item, it is crafted to high standards to ensure stability and longevity.
