About the Item

This mid-century two-seat bench attributed to Arthur Umanoff for John Stuart, Inc. captures the sleek elegance and sculptural design sensibility of 1950s modernism. With its clean lines, practical proportions, and thoughtful construction, it exemplifies Umanoff’s philosophy of blending beauty with functionality. Whether used as a statement piece in a curated collection or as an accent in a contemporary living space, this bench reflects both heritage and timeless style. The dual seats are upholstered in original black vinyl, lending both durability and sophistication. The surfaces are gently patinated with age, reflecting an authentic vintage character that speaks to the quality of mid-century craftsmanship. The minimalist form of the seat rests lightly upon a pair of sculptural legs, lending a sense of visual lift and balance. The base features tapered legs finished in deep black lacquer, their slender silhouette evoking the era’s fascination with proportion and precision. The sharp geometry of the frame contrasts subtly with the softness of the seats, striking the perfect balance between comfort and refinement. This bench embodies Umanoff’s distinctive ability to design objects that were approachable yet architecturally bold. His work for John Stuart, Inc. has long been prized for its craftsmanship and for its ability to merge functional furniture with striking silhouettes that endure beyond passing design trends. In an entryway, the bench provides an elegant resting point; in a bedroom, it offers a refined seat or dressing accent. Its size and design make it remarkably versatile, equally at home in minimalist interiors, eclectic collections, or mid-century modern settings. Collectors and designers alike will appreciate this piece’s authenticity, integrity, and enduring design language. Its understated elegance ensures it will remain a functional work of art for generations to come. Dimensions: 41w 16.5d 16h Condition: age appropriate wear, vintage finish worn, scuffs/scratches, edge wear, discoloration, minor tears,see photos.
