Know before you buy
The bench is crafted from untreated solid oak. This natural finish allows the wood to age gracefully, though it also makes the surface more susceptible to stains and spills compared to a lacquered or oiled finish.
The cushion is held securely in place by a thin, braided strap made of either leather or linen. This design detail allows the cushion to be easily removed if you prefer the look of the bare oak surface.
You can choose between the raw oak bench or the version that includes a cushion. The cushion is available in either grey wool or unbleached linen, both of which provide a soft contrast to the light wood frame.
Yes, the Georg Bench is constructed from FSC-certified solid oak. This certification ensures that the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental and social benefits.
