Retro Nelson Bench For Sale on 1stDibs
Find many varieties of an authentic retro nelson bench available at 1stDibs. A retro nelson bench — often made from wood, metal and maple — can elevate any home. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect retro nelson bench — we have versions that date back to the 20th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A retro nelson bench, designed in the Mid-Century Modern, Modern or Industrial style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made retro nelson bench over the years, but those crafted by George Nelson, Herman Miller and Charles and Ray Eames are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Retro Nelson Bench?
Prices for a retro nelson bench can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $275 and can go as high as $14,500, while the average can fetch as much as $2,238.
Finding the Right benches for You
Don’t underestimate a good bench — antique and vintage benches are storage pieces, stylish accents and statement-making additional seating.
Today, benches are a great option to maximize seating in your house and outdoor space. The perfect option to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in foyers and entryways, benches can also transform dining areas, making it possible to host a hungry family with limited space. Whether you’re sprucing up your entertaining with upholstered Empire-style benches or adding more options to a dining room that’s seen a farmhouse makeover, this humble furnishing has only become more versatile over the years. Designers have recognized the demand for a good bench, crafting the convenient seating alternative from a range of materials, including wood, iron and even concrete.
Mid-century modern benches from George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand and the pared-down Platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller are classics of innovation, but maybe you’re looking for an unconventional design approach to your home's seating. Opt for something totally outside the box — an antique pine church-pew bench paired with a vintage wool throw and stationed under the mounted coatrack in your mudroom is a distinctive touch.
For your outdoor oasis, a wrought-iron patio bench is the obvious choice but not the only option. An enclosed back patio would do well to inherit a rattan bench with cushions, but it can be susceptible to weathering and should be covered or moved indoors when not in use.
Whatever your seating arrangement needs are, find vintage, new and antique benches for every space on 1stDibs.
