Retro Bench Seating For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal piece of retro bench seating for your home. Was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, metal and fabric. Whether you’re looking for newer or older items, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right item from our selection of retro bench seating, those designed in Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern and Hollywood Regency styles are of considerable interest. Charlotte Perriand, Milo Baughman and Edward Wormley each produced at least one beautiful choice in our collection of retro bench seating that is worth considering.

How Much is a Retro Bench Seating?

A piece of retro bench seating can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $2,600, while the lowest priced sells for $1 and the highest can go for as much as $130,000.

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.
