Nelson Platform Bench For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal nelson platform bench for your home. Each nelson platform bench for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, maple and birch. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer nelson platform bench, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. A nelson platform bench is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Mid-Century Modern and Modern styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made nelson platform bench over the years, but those crafted by George Nelson and Herman Miller are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Nelson Platform Bench?
A nelson platform bench can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $2,018, while the lowest priced sells for $900 and the highest can go for as much as $5,562.
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.
