Chest bench oak wood short

The chest bench has become a rare species. Wrongly so, as it combines the functions of storage and sitting on it in a single piece of furniture, making it a great addition to hallways and checkrooms as well as bedrooms and dressing rooms. Here is one of them. Its clear design is reminiscent of the Shaker furniture tradition, but this and its compact size also offer the advantage that the chest bench can be integrated into a wide variety of living styles and living areas. This small version is the short counterpart to our chest bench of the same design. Like its big sister, the manufacturer makes it in all parts from solid, oiled oak. Its two-part lid is opened using a loop made from vegetable-tanned, undyed leather and snaps into place at the rear end. The storage space is ventilated through openings at the connection between the base and legs as well as at the recess milled to lock the lid in place - which is very useful when storing shoes or textiles in the chest bench, for example.

Form & Refine is a Danish design label founded in 2018 by Helle Herman Mortensen, Jonas Herman Pedersen and Lasse Lund Lauridsen. It exemplarily follows the Scandinavian design tradition and continues it at the same time. A central point is the harmonious combination of aesthetics, function and material. The designs are clear and restrained, function leads to form and the pure materials, which are allowed to retain their original visual details and forms, are processed with perfect craftsmanship. This is always done in the countries of origin of the materials, which shortens transport distances and at the same time supports the local craft culture.
