Vintage US Mailbag and Antique Brass Bench
About the Item
This bench, in the style of Stephen's Kenn Inheritance Collection, has been upholstered with a patchwork of vintage US mailbag canvas material. Since first designing Inheritance Collection, Stephen Kenn has been inspired by the inherent history in vintage materials. Each piece of washed canvas used in this upholstery is distinctive and will have unique markings from its long history of use as a mailbag. The textile has been lovingly repaired and reinforced, without losing any of the beautiful character that comes with great age and regular use. The Bench's steel frame has a plated antique brass finish.
Every Stephen Kenn piece is made to order through our Los Angeles studio. We create these pieces utilizing a number of small businesses and fabricators in the LA area.

Stephen Kenn
A native of Canada, artist and designer Stephen Kenn has been working in the design world for nearly a decade, creating multiple denim lines, men’s travel luggage, and now turning his eye towards the world of furniture design. He has a passion for art and a deep respect for the creative process. He considers it a privilege to push the limits of what he understands of artistic mediums, and each project he pursues comes from a place of deep passion. Deeply inspired by the simple design philosophy of the mid-century era and the stories inherent in WWII military fabrics, he created The Inheritance Collection. This collection is both innovative and simplistic in design, and comfortable enough to be conducive to good conversation. Each piece begins as a welded steel frame that has been rusted and then coated with protective polyurethane to stop the aging process and provide a smooth finish. Custom-made webbing and leather belts are then woven together to create the support structure for the cushions. The belts are an exact replica of a 1940s-era Swiss military “mule belt.” The belts were originally used to strap supplies onto pack mules for the soldier’s journey to the front lines. Sitting atop these interwoven straps are the comfortable down-alternative pillows covered in repurposed US military half-shelters that have been washed and softened. These vintage, military-issue half shelters are full of the character that comes with age and extensive use.
