About the Item

An exceptional 6ft solid stone slate bench, meticulously handcrafted for discerning interior and garden designers. This remarkable piece features a long, honed surface with a beautifully smooth finish, complemented by a contrasting chiselled edge that adds a touch of character. At 180cm (71 inches) in length, 40cm (16 inches) in depth, and 47cm (19 inches) in height, this substantial bench comfortably seats three (maybe four) people, making it an ideal addition for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Crafted from the finest natural Welsh slate sourced directly from the renowned slate mines in the foothills of Snowdonia National Park, each bench reflects the rich heritage and artistry of its origins. The top boasts a thick 60mm (2.5 inch) piece of slate. The unique texture of the slate creates a rugged, tactile quality that beautifully complements minimalist design, evoking a sense of wabi-sabi—the Japanese aesthetic that celebrates the beauty in imperfection. Natural variations and subtle gradations of colour within the slate enhance the charm and individuality of each piece, ensuring that no two benches are alike. Made up of four components—three bolster (plinth) legs and a single slate slab—this bench is not only functional but also an artistic statement. The three bolster legs provide a rugged yet stable foundation, echoing the dramatic landscapes from which the slate was formed millions of years ago. Renowned for its resistance to weathering, fading, and deterioration, the slate used in these benches ensures they will grace your space for generations to come. With minimal maintenance required, these benches showcase the enduring appeal of this exceptional material—a true masterpiece of sustainable, high-quality design. Transform your space with a touch of natural elegance and timeless craftsmanship. This unique slate bench promises to impress and inspire, making it the perfect choice for designers aiming to create a memorable environment. When installing, we recommend a secure base, the bench is free standing but mortar could be used is necessary, setting the bench on a level firm area will ensure a long-lasting structure.
