Natural Welsh Slate Garden Bench Seat with Honed Top and Chiselled Edge - 4ft
Natural Welsh Slate Garden Bench Seat with Honed Top and Chiselled Edge - 4ft

Natural Welsh Slate Garden Bench Seat with Honed Top and Chiselled Edge - 4ft

Located in Llanbrynmair, GB

An exceptional 4ft solid Welsh slate bench, meticulously handcrafted for interior and garden designers. The honed top has a beautifully smooth finish, contrasted by a chiselled edge that introduces texture, character and a quietly sculptural quality to the piece. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces, the bench is crafted from natural Welsh slate sourced from the renowned slate mines in the foothills of Snowdonia National Park. Measuring 4ft in length, with a substantial 45mm thick slate top set on two bolster feet, it has a strong architectural presence while remaining understated and highly versatile. The natural texture and tonal variation within the slate create a rugged, tactile quality that works especially well in pared-back interiors and architectural garden settings. There is a distinct wabi-sabi sensibility to the material, with subtle shifts of tone and natural markings that celebrate the beauty of imperfection and ensure that each bench is individual. Simple in form yet rich in material character, the slate top resting on two bolster supports gives the bench a monolithic, grounded appearance. It is equally effective as functional seating or as a sculptural design feature, bringing natural elegance, permanence and craftsmanship to both contemporary and traditional spaces. Renowned for its resistance to weathering, fading and deterioration, Welsh slate is an exceptionally durable material that will endure for generations with minimal maintenance. The bench is free standing and weighs approximately 220kg; for installation, we recommend placing it on a firm and level base, with mortar used if required for additional stability.

By Pierre Jeanneret

Located in London, GB

Authentic 'Office Chair' from the administrative buildings of Chandigarh (Ref. PJ-SI-28-B). In excellent condition - joints have been restored and cane work replaced. Pierre Jeanneret (22 March 1896 - 4 December 1967) was a Swiss architect who collaborated with his cousin, Le Corbusier, designing furniture for Le Corbusier's vast modernist complex at Chandigarh. Jeanneret remained for over 15 years as the project’s chief architect and the city remains a masterpiece of the modern vision. The pair pioneered a new aesthetic that placed function and order over embellishment—Jeanneret’s work imbuing the strict geometry of modernism with lighter materials like cane and wood. Jeanneret also collaborated with other modern masters, Charlotte Perriand on experiments in aluminium and wood, and Jean Prouve developing prefabricated housing.

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs

With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.

Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.

Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.

No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
