Reclaimed Elm Door Bench

About the Item

Made of wood reclaimed from 18th-century Chinese buildings, this petite door bench brings the farmhouse modern aesthetic to traditional forms. Using classic joinery techniques, our craftspeople fashioned a simple bench to resemble those that would have been moved about a provincial Chinese courtyard home. Embracing the notion of “wabi-sabi,” the table charms with its irregular edges, mottled color, and fascinating array of knots, splits, and nail holes that hint at the wood’s earlier use. Additional Dimensions: Seat: 35"W x 9.5"D.

Shaped from a young elmwood branch, the narrow seat follows the natural contours of the wood, arching slightly with organic movement. The bench is supported by thin, splayed legs linked by stretchers with mortise-and-tenon joinery, without the use of nails or screws. With its weathered texture and meandering form, the unusual bench...
