Shoreditch Bench

Our Shoreditch Bench is a wonderfully simple design, with pared down details that echoes the beauty of Scandinavian style. Its generously sized so it can comfortably seat 2 adults on it. Which makes it perfect for a kitchen, breakfast or dining room. Or just have it in a kids bedroom, playroom, hallway or bootroom, so you've somewhere to sit down when you put on or take off your shoes.

Strong, light and money-saving. This bench is made from quality sungkai wood, which is famous for its light colour and strength. It is a hardwood known as white teak and crafted by Indonesian artisan using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. You just have to attach the legs: this saves space in our warehouses and lorries and we pass on the savings we make to you as a lower price.

As with all wood it still lives on and we suggest not placing it in direct sunlight or next to heat sources such as radiators. In dry centrally heated houses it will expand and contract and may cause splits and warping to the timber especially on the tops of tables.

About our Shoreditch Furniture Collection

Our Shoreditch collection is made from solid Sungkai wood, a hardwood native to Indonesia and used for furniture and houses, all sourced from controlled plantations to ensure a reliable and sustainable source of timber. The wood is then shaped into the vintage retro style of this collection. As with any natural product there are going to be variations in colour, grain and finish. This can be seen in the wood having a darker patch or a not being quite smooth and uniform shape of a manufactured piece of furniture. We feel that these variations are all part of the character of this wonderful range of furniture.

As with all solid wooden furniture, the wood in the Shoreditch collection still lives on and needs to be taken care of. The wood will move and may split with changes in temperature especially in modern centrally heated houses or in exceptionally hot weather, these can be easily filled with a wood filler. The Shoreditch collection is finished with a sanding sealer, although this seals the pores of the wood it does not give any protection against stains. We recommend a using a clear wax or similar to seal the piece if this is needed.
