Know before you buy
The square model measures 29.5 inches in both width and depth, making it ideal for smaller entryways or as a standalone accent piece. The rectangular versions offer expanded seating capacity, allowing you to better tailor the bench to the scale of your hallway or living area.
The Relaxed Bench features a softer, more plush seat construction compared to the traditional, stiffer Florence Knoll designs. It is engineered to provide a comfortable, sink-in feel while maintaining the clean, tailored lines characteristic of mid-century modern furniture.
The polished chrome finish provides a high-shine, reflective surface that is durable and resistant to corrosion. While it can show fingerprints, it is easily maintained with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to keep the base looking pristine.
Yes, the bench is available in an extensive range of premium upholstery options, including various fabrics and leathers. This allows you to select a texture and color that complements your specific interior palette.
Regular maintenance involves light vacuuming or dusting for fabric upholstery and wiping down the chrome base with a soft cloth. For leather options, we recommend using a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and maintain the material's suppleness.
The 5-year warranty provided by Knoll covers the structural integrity and craftsmanship of the bench, including the frame and base. It generally does not cover normal wear and tear of the upholstery, which depends on the specific material chosen and its level of use.
