The Benson Stool uses traditional woodworking with a modern touch, making it both timeless and functional. Designed as extra seating, it fits naturally into any living space with its simple, artistic form.

Using classic woodworking methods, the walnut seat and oak legs complement each other naturally. Exposed intersecting joints add both visual interest and structural integrity. The legs pass through the seat and are secured with dowels and wedges for lasting stability, while the gently curved seat enhances comfort. Finished with a semi-gloss oil, the Benson Stool showcases the natural beauty of its materials while honoring traditional craftsmanship.
