Pair of Wrought Iron Benches Attributed to Ilana Goor

About the Item

Pair of Wrought Iron Benches Attributed to Ilana Goor, Israel, Circa 1980s Striking in form and material, this sculptural pair of hand-wrought iron benches is attributed to Israeli artist and designer Ilana Goor. With an expressive, primitive aesthetic, each bench features a boldly twisted and hammered frame with curled arms and a latticed seat, showcasing the raw texture and artisanal strength of forged ironwork. The design echoes Goor’s signature blend of utilitarian function and brutalist-inspired artistry. A standout detail is the small, stylized iron bird perched on the lower support of one bench—an organic, whimsical element that recalls Goor’s frequent use of animal motifs to imbue her work with life and narrative. This subtle yet evocative touch reinforces the handmade nature of the piece and adds a layer of personality and charm. The crossed base is enhanced with twisted iron supports and ornamental scrollwork, providing visual weight and structural integrity. Though solid and substantial, the open grid design lends an airy balance, making these benches versatile for both indoor or covered outdoor spaces. Each piece measures 20 inches wide by 14 inches deep and 19 inches high, with a seat height of 14 inches. Perfect at the foot of a bed, flanking a doorway, or in a garden room, these benches offer both sculptural interest and functional seating. In very good vintage condition with surface texture and finish variations that reflect their handcrafted nature. Unique and expressive examples of studio-crafted iron furniture attributed to one of Israel’s leading artistic voices.
