Custom Rectangular Concrete Bench, 'Skye'

About the Item

These customizable mid-weight concrete benches or coffee tables with or without impressions from real leaves can make a natural addition to nearly any room or outdoor environment. The fossil-like leaf imprints soften the brutalist material of cement into an organic and rustic presence. The imprints have some texture to them, which offers visual and tactile interest, but will not tip over glasses, vases, or any other tabletop items placed on the surface. All works have natural variations in color and design due to leaf availability, material variations, weather, and other factors. Finishes are typically matte to lightly satin. Work is sealed to resist stains. Leaf Designs Possible foliage impressions include artichoke, rhubarb, nasturtium, redwood, smoke bush, tobacco, sage, acanthus, various ferns, grass blades, corn husk, geranium, burdock, potato, echium, and many more, although availability is highly seasonal. Leaves can be composed in various ways, whether they are more centered or on the edges, numerous or minimal, or placed in a "natural" way or more designed pattern. Different varieties of leaves can be combined on a single piece. Leaves are often grouted with two or three different colors to emphasize their botanical detail. Contact for questions about leaf recommendations, availability, or for more images of particular leaf designs or more ideas. We have likely cast over 200 varieties of plants, and we continue to love to experiment with new leaves! Size and Pricing These benches are available in the following sizes: 12" (wide) x 48" (long) x 15" tall: $1200 16" x 30" x 18": $975 16" x 60" x 18": $1600 Colors Pieces can come in a range of colors, whether the standard cement colors of white, limestone, or grey, or pigmented with yellows, browns, blacks, blues, reds, or greens. In addition, you may request the leaf be filled in with certain colors. They can also match the base color for a more subtle effect. Note that we can not guarantee an exact color match due to the nature of cement, pigments, and the variation in colors of screens and photographs, but we will often create several color samples to ensure we get it as close as possible.
