About the Item
The ‘pin sofa’, or stick sofa, is among the most recognisable models of Scandinavian mid-century benches. The ‘stick bench-sofa’, a design that has been a crucial model alongside its famous counterpart, the 'stick chair', reached its peak during the 20th century, particularly in the vibrant decades between the 20s and 50s. Today, this iconic piece is experiencing a renaissance, a witness to the enduring appeal of understated, simple design. It stands as a proud example of traditional craftsmanship, its solid wooden joints highlighting the skill and artistry of its makers. This method of construction not only enhances the bench's structure but also presents the reverence it rightfully deserves. This stick bench evokes extremely positive associations: a cosy home, a visit to a grandparent, or a traditional kitchen. What made – and still makes - this bench so popular is probably the invitation to socialise within the space, conveyed through a stylish shape and its simple functionality.
This bench has fourteen symmetrically-arranged wooden beech spindles that slightly incline backwards, providing a comfortable seating experience. With a wider wooden backrest rail framing the slim spindles, this model has a beautiful and warm look. The teak seat is perfectly smooth, and the tapered legs follow the practical simplicity of the pins on top. The ‘stick sofa’ is a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it.
This model is a testament to the preservation of time-honoured traditions. Its design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising on the quality of production or materials. This ‘stick bench’ is not just a piece of furniture, but a symbol of enduring quality and timeless appeal, a testament to the skill and dedication of its makers.

Located in Utrecht, NL
In the past year, seating benches have become a popular choice in home décor. Of course, these benches’ primary purpose is to provide a convenient and comfortable place to sit. However, a bench, such as this beautiful wooden model, can also be used as an interior decorative element.

Axel Einar Hjorth "Utö" Bench, Sweden ca 1935
By Axel Einar Hjorth
Located in Utrecht, NL
This “Utö” bench is from the Swedish designer, Axel Einar Hjorth’s Sportstugemöble furniture line.
This bench has a rather simple, yet well-thought out design. The frame is made of pine, mixing the aesthetics of rural, traditional handcraft with international modernism. Produced by AB Nordiska Kompaniet, this bench belongs to Hjorth's line of modernistic cabin furniture from the 1930's. The seat of the bench is thick and robust, with an oval shaped pine board, assuring sturdiness and stability. The symmetrically carved back with a gap in the middle offers comfort and functionality.
The four tapered legs of the bench follow the shape of the backrests on both sides, accentuating the geometrical aspect, and highlighting the symmetry of this piece.

Jean & Sébastien Touret Oak Bench, France, 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
The term brutalism — which derives from the French word brut, meaning “raw” — was originally coined to describe an architectural style that emerged in the 1950s featuring monumental buildings, usually made of unornamented concrete, whose design was meant to project an air of strength and solidity. Similarly, in furniture design Brutalism inspired designers to create models with the same look of strength and style.
