About the Item

A striking and highly functional Mid-Century Modern bench, meticulously designed by the renowned Norwegian firm Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor. This piece exemplifies the minimalist yet robust aesthetic characteristic of Scandinavian design from the period. Produced in the 1960s as part of their distinctive Futurum line, this extra-long bench is crafted from green stained pine, a unique and vibrant choice that imparts a distinctive earthy character to the piece. Its design is characterized by a clean, geometric silhouette, supported by three robust squared legs—one positioned at each end and a central one for enhanced stability and visual balance. The intentional simplicity of its form highlights the natural grain of the pine, even through the rich green stain. Its distinctive aesthetic allows it to seamlessly embrace Nordic, Brutalist, or Wabi-Sabi interior sensibilities. Perfect for an entryway, as supplementary seating in a living area, or even as a unique statement piece in a contemporary interior, this bench offers both ample seating and a distinctive aesthetic. In original condition with visible wear consistent with its age and use.
